Hopefully it isn't serious.
Differential Fluid has the same weight as brake fluid, this looks similar to motor oil. But again, the exhaust shows that the fluid was thin at one time when it was hot, but when it sat in my garage for a week became thick.

I sent photos to my mechanic and he also thinks the Rear Axle is toast since it was making a rubbing noise while I was driving around town. He thinks the CV Joint needs to be rebuilt at best. Well, we all know Stealerships replace parts and not rebuild them.

I'm not trying to skirt the dealership because I'm heavily modded and I'm afraid it be denied warranty. There has be to direct correlation with the part damage, and the mods installed to be denied warranty. Example, above normal horsepower or torque brought by a "Tune" equals a Blown Axle? Nope! So no connection between the two so I'm not afraid of warranty being denied. It's how everyone should rationalize warranty.
