Unhappy New Gears?

So I am ready to get new gears put in. But look at my rear end its leaking on the drivers side. Should I have Ford look at it? Or is this the norm, There is only 21000 miles on the truck.

Are you talking about the little breather? If so don't worry about it, it's normal to be a little damp around it.

Some residue from where the tubes get pressed/welded to the center section is normal.

If it's still under warranty, take it in. That's what the warranty is for. Plus you get peace of mind too.
