Default Leaking axle seal?

I would post a photo but the card reader is playing up.

I've got a smallish oil leak at the driver's side front wheel. It's not leaving puddles of oil yet but the whole bottom half of the yoke on the end of the axle housing is wet with oil.

Anyone had leaks from the axle tubes and particularly had them repaired under warranty? Tell me if I'm expecting too much but I expect that leaking seals should be covered by warranty?

seal for front diff is right up at the centre, axle tubes in front of JK are dry. unless the tubes are filled with mud i don't think you'll have an issue with getting them to redo the seal

mine has just sprung this leak too, but i have an ARB locker in the front so could be caused by installation, i dunno.

Just check the power steering hose. I blew one of those and it leaked all down that side. Probably isn't it but worth a look just in case.
