Description of the problem	I found some info in a forum where multiple people have the same complaints about leaking around the axle. I was informed that the right axle seal needs replacement when i took my vehicle to the dealership for a multi-point inspection. I'm not sure if this is something that happens over time but it seems like it's happened to others who have noticed it before the warranty expiration and it was covered under the powertrain warranty. I purchased an extended warranty but it has expired and i was never told about this issue while my vehicle was under warranty.
