    That’s the vent for the front differential.
    What gear oil weight are you running?

    The other is the actuator vent.
    The transmission vent is buried on top of the transmission.
    It isn’t easy to see or get to….

    Still thinking about it.
    My vents get that way too but I always figured it was just oil/mist escaping from normal use.

    I’ll clean the area and keep an eye on it. But based on the comments it doesn’t seem like something to be too concerned about.
