Default Turquoise fluid

Just got my first vette. What a hoot! After a few weeks I noticed that there was a few drops of a turquoise fluid under the rear end. I average about one drop a day. The dealer said no big deal that they would take care of it with my first service which is scheduled in mid May. Should I be concerned?

It's differential fluid. Must be the left Axle seal. Everyone gets that replaced. :(
No concern just a pain. Check your drive side axle shaft where it ientes the differential...you'll see fluid stains and dirt stuck to it

Check the fluid level in the diff. It may be over-filled.

Drained and re-filled mine at 600 miles to make sure I had synthetic and the correct amount in the rear.
