    Got my 10k service last week.

    Does this look like a problem or something that needs to be addressed?

    Clean it off with some brake clean and check on it every day or so until you can possibly get a better idea of where it might be coming from.

    i would have it addressed if its still under warranty. I don't thing anything should be leaking to a point where its going to drip

    It could be that when they checked the fluid they didn't wipe off the drip. I'd wipe it off, run a few days and check it then.

    20171231_161344.jpg I had the same problem at my 10k service. The front and rear seals on the transfer-case were bad. No fluid ever hit the ground, but it was wet along the bottom. The dealership had to order the seals, so I had to take it back a week later, but a quick and easy fix under warranty.

    Exact same issue with mine, sprayed the entire under carriage so maybe a bit more severe. Replaced transfer case seals under warranty. Bring it in !

    Made a service appointment today. Will see them in two weeks. Also mentioned a rear leaf TSB. They gave me the run around about it.
