Dipping out the back....????

I have noticed that my differential (I guess you would call it) is wet. I notice that on my driveway that there are drops present. I told the dealership about it but they attirbuted it to the overflow. I did not think much more about since my driveway has a tilt to it. I started to park the car pointing down but still see the drips.
Anyone else see this kind of behaviour?

Spray it will degreaser and then the water hose and if it comes back then you got a problem and you can then tell them you did that and that something is really leaking.

Thumbs up

Apparently there is a real problem!!
I finally "squeaked" loud enough that the dealership looked beyond a quick visual. It appears that my other problem was also related to this.

I was told when they had the car on a hoist and running that the fluid in the diff was flowing quite nicely out of the overflow screen. They called Mazda to discuss the situation and had to order a new part. Should be in Monday.

It would be great to have these 2 problems go away with one full swipe... :D
