leaking drivers side axle???

So I was under my car yesterday tryna install my new borla catbacks and I noticed my drivers side half of the differential housing and most all of the axle itself was looking wet like it it were leaking. I tryed to check where it was leaking from but all I could tell was that the top side of the drivers side axle has a small tube, I wanna say a breather maybe. I'm thinking that's where ifs coming from I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this. Is it something I should be concerned about. I've only had it since last june and it only got ~7600 miles on it I'm sure it still under warranty so I'm just wondering if I should take it in.

btw: 2013 gt/cs 6sp 3.73s

It's the breather valve. There is a TSB, take it in. Same thing happened to mine.

Same thing for me, it is very common but most people never notice it. Took my dealer 30 minutes to get it done.

oddly enough i had the same issue... I even seen the mustang was taken in once for this. Today i saw the same crap... TSB?

I will get it taken care of when taking in for oil change... Dont get why they are doing this...
