Rear Axle Sweating?

[Ryslegit]

Took my Bronco in to have the axle and a shock looked at. I just got word back from the dealer that what they are seeing is just sweating and the axle not actually seeping. The shock ironically was leaking. Does that seem right from what you see in the pic?

lol sounds like phrasing semantics. 'sweating' = 'lightly leaking'. Ask them in what universe is this functioning as designed. There is some kind of seal that's messed up, improper ventilation, etc.

Yea it’s fairly obvious it’s seeping from the line going into the axle. They said they took pics and had their foreman look at it…and isn’t a concern. The advisor then said if it gets worse to bring it back in…but it’s not an issue??

The mental gymnastics.

seriously though, I'm curious to see the official response from Ford is as it seems there has been a few threads bout this as of late:

Here a a few mine I posted last week.
This is after the dealer said it was a leaking o-ring.
Now it appears my welds are leaking.
