Good morning.

Can you take a picture of the pinion seal? I'm sure that's all this is.

A common mistake when replacing the pinion seal is that the installer will rely on the RTV that comes on the seal alone. This is not enough and will lead to another failure at least half the time.

Grab another seal and ask the installer to put a bead of RTV around the inside lip of the seals mating surface before installing it into the housing. This will fix the issue.

Your locker light is a whole different issue... I'd get it diagnosed by the dealer, but it's highly likely that you have oil in the sensor and it's toast. BUT, have it looked at first. Here's a couple links to some info on this:
