It's just a little 'weeping' from the tubes.... I don't know why it's doing that, but there is no easy 'fix' that I'm aware of for that....
My 11 year old 9.75 does not leak there..
So no, it's not 'normal', but I don't think it's going to be a big deal.... Just keep an eye on the fluid level and don't do any big jumps with your rig!

I have seen this before. The amount it sweats out will not make any real difference to your fluid levels. If you like you can weld your tubes to the housing. A lot of guys with high performance rides do this to make the rear end more solid and it will stop the leakage you are having. Just make sure you take it too a good welder who has done this type of thing before or they may warp your tubes and that is bad. It can be done with the rear end still in place.
