I have two current issues and was wondering if they were items covered under the 5 year/50,000 mile Powertrain warranty.
1. Drivers side motor mount leaking fluid. Dealer spotted it at last service and recommended replacement but didn’t make a comment about being under powertrain warranty.
2. Front axle disconnect showing signs of leaking fluid around the actuator cover. Just wet around the edges at this point.

Are either of these parts covered under the 2021 Powertrain warranty? Is the a Jeep group I can call to determine?

You need to ask your local dealer on coverage or send a message to JeepCares. Engine mount probably not. Usually it's "internal" components of the drive train that are covered. Seepage is usually not covered but a leak could be. Again usually gaskets are covered. But unfortunately your at your dealers mercy. So ask Jeep for sure then ask your dealer with Jeeps backup answers. Good luck.

5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, is your powertrain warranty. If your Jeep has no powertrain modifications, both the axle leak and engine mount are cover by the limited warranty.

Nope. Mounts are not powertrain.

How does the motor mount leak?

Those are some interesting Engine/Motor Mounts. I've only known hard rubber for engine mounts. Is it a 3.6??

The actual 2021 3.6l mounts look like the 2.0l mounts in your other picture. Oddly enough the AllDataDIY service manual shows this style but mine are definitely the 2.0 style. They have a fluid in them that adds more damping effect but it appears that they are prone to leaking.

Hydraulic engine mounts have been around a long time. The 3.6 has used them since its release. A leak on its own isn’t a major concern if you’re having to pay out of pocket and consider it too big a job to DIY. replace when it wears out.
