Would this warrant a problem?

So was looking around my car and found that there was a lot of grease coming from the front right axle.

Should I get this fixed immediately or can it wait?

That’s not real good and it’s unlikely it will ‘self heal’. I suggest getting it fixed.

If you don’t, eventually dirt, particles, grit, and depending on where you live brine and salt will work its way up in there and cause corrosion and wear and eventually cause bigger problems. I use the term eventually but it could happen faster depending how much you drive and that the elements are like where you live.

things like this are always easier to fix when you notice the issue and not when additional damage is done.

my 2 cents.

That’s probably a really good step #1!

Thank you for your swift reply! In your experience, would this fall under Warranty?

me personally, if i trusted the local dealer i would take it in for warranty, if i didn't i would do it myself, its not all that hard but you will need the tools for it
