Re: Rear axle seals leaks. Please report.

It is possible that the shop that installed the TT did not clean the area up after installation (that was in my case). To be sure, I would wipe the area clean and check it frequently. If it starts showing up again then it should be fixed.

The manual says that the seals should always be replaced when the axle is pulled. However, this is a known problem with Titans. When I take mine in I am not going to say a word about the TT. I'm going to say the diff is fine... fix the seal. Warranty work, imo.
