Default leaking rearend anyone???

Hey hows it going? Just got off work and when I got home noticed some sort of fluid where I usually park my truck in the garage, after further insp. I figured out my rear end is leaking. Seems to be leaking from the front part where the drive shaft connects. I own a 2003 RAM 1500 HEMI half ton 4 door the truck has 26000 miles on it and is still under manufactures warranty. I am taking her in tommorrow to dealer to get this fixed. Shouldnt have any problem because still under warrnty. Was woundering if this is a common problem and what might have caused this . Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks

its just the pinion seal, common problem. probably dry rotted. other than that , bad pinion bearings could ruin the seal

Really should see a medical doctor for a "leaking rear end" [8D]

Anyway, like Swamper said, faulty pinion seal. No big deal, but shouldn't be leaking with low mileage, unless ya been mudding.
