Leaking Axle Seal???

Caught the Bug
I was just getting started rotating my tires this evening, and when I removed the passenger side rear tire and after rolling it up to the front I saw this...

I was a bit puzzled at first, and went to the rear wheel well, and there was all kinds of oil sling into the underside of the wheel well. I looked at the brakes and everything was clean, then crawled around back and found this...

My guess is that the right rear axle seal is shot?
Info: 2013 JKUR with 8500 miles on it...

Yeah, I'd have to say that is the most likely culprit. Hard to believe being that your Jeep is essentially stock and with so few miles on it. As much as I hate to say it, I'd take it back to the dealer and have them replace it under warranty.

Heater/AC doesnt work correctly
Bearing on the water pump is shot
Supposed to replace the trans cooler line

Honestly, I would be about ready to call what you have a lemon.

I have friends in Subaru and GM that both tell me how pro-consumer the lemon laws are in California. You can get a full refund if you're insistent enough.

Yea, I was thinking the same thing. I still have the attorneys name who I spoke with when I had the transmission issue. I am going to give him a call tomorrow, since the transmission fiasco had the jeep at the dealer for 29 days. Not sure if the 30 day thing has to be for the same issues, or cumulative issues.

Yea for sure. I am already pretty familiar with the process, as I just went through it with my girlfriends new escape. It was still a huge hassle, and even after ford conceded that it was a lemon it took another month before she finally got her replacement. All said and done I think it took nearly 90 days.

Yeah, it's a fight you're going to win. But it's a fight you're going to have to fight...all 15 rounds.

As much of a pain as it would be to do, I'd seriously consider it being that you've been having nothing but trouble since day one.
