    No, that's a common problem.
    Both my 4th gens have done it.
    My 12 bolt rear does it.

    The rear will blow if you leak all the fluid out. If it's leaking real bad (a lot of drops on floor), then get it fixed. If it's just slightly leaking (as mine does) where it coats the rear with a light coat of oil but none lands on the ground, I'd just make sure to top off the fluid every few months or so.

      it could be coming through the threads on the pinion, mine was leaking a while back and it was that instead of the seal, i pulled the nut off and covered the threads w/liquid teflon and there is not one spot of oil on the whole rear now...

        its just coating it, not enough to drip on the ground, what fluid would it be? i have all my fluids topped of about every 2 months when i get an oil change.

          It's probably a leak from the pinion seal. Mine looks exactly like that. As long as it's just the coating, I wouldn't worry about it.
