Today, I got the oil changed at a Mr. Lube place.

They told me that my front differential pinion seal is leaking.
I'm fairly new to the Jeep world and have no clue if this is ok, bad or really bad.
Is this item normally covered buy standard power train warranty?

Thanks for your help

Its not really bad. A little seepage is fairly common but it still shouldnt do it and it should be covered by a drivetrain warranty. If its covered by warranty, I would have them fix it no matter how small the leak is, if its out of warranty, I wouldnt worry with it unless its actually dripping off the housing. Just about every Jeep Ive seen with more than a couple years on it weeps enough to wet the housing, doesnt make it right though, just one of those pesky things.
