Default Differential Gunk + ABS/Brake Light

2001 ram 1500 5.2 v8 auto trans rwd

My ABS and Brake light come on after acceleration. I changed my speed sensor. It was cheap and just decided too. I tried to clean off the diff but I couldn’t. How could the top of this be that gunked up? There’s no lines around or anything leaking down onto if. Can the speed sensor leak? The light still comes on after changing it. It’s also not a OEM piece.

I had a REALLY weird scenario where a pinhole in the bottom of the sensor was pumping oil thru the electrical connector and all over the diff. You gotta get near the end of the thread to see the hole:
