    **EDIT**

    Sorry, wrong forum. Can't figure out how to delete the post.

    Noticed this earlier today. From my assumption and light digging it looks like a brake leak or rear axle seal leak. Unfortunately I am *trying* to leave MA tomorrow back to MI, towing a trailer. Is it a bad idea to ignore it for the 1,000 mile trek or should I dig in and fix it now?
