Sorry for the crappy title. I didn’t know what else to title it.
Looks like my steering gear box is leaking onto the nut holding the pitman arm and onto the tie rod. Jeep has 4458 miles. I know it’s dirty. My ryobi pressure washer water broom doesn’t seem to spray it well enough and neither does the local car washes underbody wash.

If it didn't drip on the ground, it's not a problem.

It’s not even a class 1 leak!

This is just a guess, but I see on all stock jeeps I work on, I’m assuming it’s factory assembly…. Loctite for pitman nut, and anti seize for adjustment sleeve…… The only reason I call it a guess is because I’m not sure Jeep would pay for that or the extra labor….

There is red Loctite on that pitman arm nut, no anti seize on mine at least, because I had to use a pipe wrench to adjust the sleeve. However, I do not have such residue on my nut or sleeve

100% ok and nothing to worry about. It's just the factory installed death wobble prevention grease!

not sure what "thingys" you're trying to identify, but it's highly unlikely anything leaks because you wiped it down.
more likely it was going to get worse anyway; you just wiped it before it did.

I just noticed it 2 weeks ago when I was disconnecting my sway bar before a trail ride. I never cleaned it cause you know those leaks you’ve gotten that if you’d have just left it alone it would have been fine because it wasn’t leaving anything on the ground? But you cleaned it anyway to make sure it was nothing and now it just leaks like faucet! Yeah I didn’t want that. But I was reconnecting my sway bar from this weekend and noticed it again and thought I’d ask if anyone else had noticed this! It seems like it’s fine. I also noticed some residue on the diffs that had collected dust from when they were factory filled. Maybe the stinkin moon dust here is just attracted to anything remotely damp.

Really? You need to wash your thingy before you show pictures of it all over the internet.

If I didn’t I’d get banned

Fluid Film will fix a tiny weep like that. Coat everything in your photos and the problem is gone. I'm pretty sure.
