It was leaking and I cleaned it up with Brakekleen and it stopped. 
It's been about a week without a drop or a drip that I can see
Maybe it swelled the rubber.
Gonna see how long this lasts.

How much play do you have on the left axle where it goes into the diff?
I think my carrier bearing is going. I have a bit of play on that axle and the seal is toast.

LH seal cover and seal replacement
Mine leaked 3 times.
This time, dealer will replace lh cover AND seal.
Glad to see they are trying new cover.....I think it could be a machining issue.
