Had a nice little puddle under the truck this morning. It’s under front passenger side. I think it’s an axle seal. I just dropped it off at the dealer and I’m praying they have it back to me by Saturday for our Labor Day trip.

21 Tremor with 1300 miles. Anyone have something like this happen.
Here is where it’s dripping from. Is it an easy fix?

Mine developed a bad rear axle seal leak at 64 miles/4 days. Hopefully you won’t have to wait on parts like I did.

yeah mine is in the front and I’m not exactly sure what it is but it made a puddle about the size of a a coffee mug. It smelled like gear oil for sure.

I just did a long search and cant find a single thing about a front dif or cv axle leak. All I'm seeing is people who have had rear leaks. I'm hoping someone can chime in here that knows these trucks better than me.

Update: Ford will have my truck back today. It was leaking because it was assembled wrong at the factory. The needle bearing was missing. Hopefully no more issues

damn, a bearing was missing? Are they putting a new front differential in it? or just installing the missing bearing and a new seal?
