Made an appt at the dealer since it’s still under warranty, but it’s not till Tuesday. i just hope they are cool with the bigger tire and not say that what caused it.

Well just got a call from the dealer and they have to replace both seals in my axle, replace rotors and calipers on all 4, fix the cam phaser and the burn out switch on the drivers door. The only think that suck is no truck till at least Sat, but everything was covered under warranty.

Seems like you have a damn good dealership if they're fixing all of that with you only coming for the leaking axle seal.

The color of the leak is a clear with a little be of black in it. Any help would be great

An axel seal is an "O" ring. In the pic below (from my Mustang) you can see the black o-ring just above the break...
