Been looking for other posts on this, but not seen any. 2021 JLUR. Plug Weld on axle is leaking. Picture below appears to be cleaned to show the weld itself.
Thoughts, concerns?

Edit: I think this is your issue, this thread covers the rosette weld.

I think @chevymitchell told the OP on that post to replace the axle. He may have an idea on how difficult of a repair this is vs. swapping out the axle.

update: the dealer replaced the axle.
no coaxing or complaining from my side, they did it, but they took 22 days having the jeep to do it.

My assumption, they were dealing with the factory to get approval, but this is just pure speculation. They slow rolled it about testing a few things there were unrelated.

Anyways, picked it up tonight. All seems good.

Had that happen to the front axle when I had a jk. Dealer changed it under warranty.
