Dude, I'm 17 do you think I listen to the wise ol' farts? lol
the sludge you seen along with small metal "shiny" particles is completely normal for the rear diff. Gray, slimy sludge more than shiny particles, but at any rate....completely normal. it's when you see chunks that you can physically hold you need to worry about.
The shiny particles are wear from the bearings...gray sludge is wear from the gears.
