You're leaking gear oil outta the halfshaft seal, just like I was.
This is a warranty issue, I've had to have it taken in like twice within 20k miles, PITA!

If your car is still under warranty, and you have all your cats still installed, then you should be fine.
I don't know of a dealership you can bring your car to if you don't have all your emissions control equipment intact.
If you let this go on, you will start to see smoke coming outta your hood scoop, and your tranny may wear excessively due to oil loss.
