Looks like your freakin brakeline is leakin, get that checked out now. Also, check the end of your diff breatherhose, see if any gear oil may be blowing out and running down the tube. Best case scenario is your shock is leakin or your diff is overfilled a tad. Worst-brakeline. Check your brake fluid level.

It's been like that for a couple months, I get my oil changes done at the dealer and they never mentioned anything about it. Haven't touched the diffs since purchase which is about 9 months ago. Could they have been overfilled from the factory?

Read somewhere on here on long trips the diff oil will spill out of the air breather, need to go search that thread again.

Your diff is spittin out the breather when it gets hot. just spray it with some simple green let it soak awhile and hose it off, no harm, no foul.
