I am new to the Jeeping community and know little. I got back from a trail yesterday and noticed what appeared to be oil on my front lower driver side control arm. I snapped some pictures of what I think may be the source is but was hoping someone in the WAYALIFE community could help me out.

I am requesting some help to identify the problem and was hoping someone can tell me what I need to do to fix it. As always thank you very much and thank you for your time.

Smell like gear oil? Probably have too much fluid in your diff and it's pumping out.

Wipe up the mess and not worry about it. Once your diff is closer to where it should be, the oil will stop pumping out.

This is good to know. I would have been freaked out also.
