    Had 5100s installed on middle notch and the bushing installed on the driver side. While installing my Cat Security plate today I took off the skid plate just behind the front skid. There was a puddle of oily dirt on the passenger side and a small puddle on the driver side of the skid plate under where the CVs connect to the whatever its called on the inboard side. No visible drip on driver side but a small visible drip on pass side at the inner connection and the boots are fine.
    Question: when they installed the driver side bushing did they drain both sides and thats the leak I see or is the leak on the pass side not related? My warranty mileage is 24,568 so want to get some ideas from the brain trust before I bring it in for its first ER visit. Thanks for your time!
