Default Oil Leak from Front Axle/Diff... Anyone else?

Hi all! I have a 2024 Defender with just over 7.5k miles on it, got under it this weekend to get my tuffant rock ralils installed and noticed a small drip of fluid on the bottom of the front diff, followed it up and noticed it appears to be originating from where the axle and diff interface on the front left side. Its a small amount of oil for now but the droplet reemerged after cleaning and driving about 50 miles. Anyone else seeing this issue? I'm under warranty so I might take it in just to have them get it on record but this is my first LR so is this just "par for the corse"

Thanks!

Traced it up and can see that oil is weeping from the interface of the front left axle into the diff and getting spun around and coated on things in the general vicinity

Typically a simple fix for a shop to replace that axle seal.

Take it to the dealer and let them fix it under warranty.
