Leak after off-roading!
I have a 2nd gen with a leak. Silver or grey grease has leaked out near the back of the front skid plate, after a weekend of some off-roading.
Any ideas where to start looking after I pull the skid plate and what it might be?
Thanks for any suggestions.

leak
I checked those and they look good. It's dripping down from the middle of the skid plate and off the cross member. I'm sure once I pull the plate off tonight it will be easier to troubleshoot. Thanks.

i once tore a boot but it didnt leak. It was more just alot of grease all over the place. If its oily it could be dirty diff fluid that is leaking out of the diff/ seals.

leaking silver grease?!?
Looks to be the fan clutch. It was an aftermarket replacement, only about 6 months old.
Does the grease in the fan clutch look silver or grey? I can't see any other source.
