I have a leak under the rear axle. The fill plug in the rear diff looked to be leaking a bit before I wiped it away, but the "puddle" on the ground doesn't line up correctly. It looks like the splitter box for the brakes may be the culprit.
There's a black, almost chalky-gooey type substance on all 3 hoses and the little box itself, circled in red in the photo below. I've also included the rear diff plug and the "puddle" on the ground.
Is this something to be concerned about? A new splitter box? And finally should that plug be leaking anything at all? It's not much and I figured with 142K on her, it's not bad, but wanted to check with the experts first.
Thanks,
Andrew
