so i crawled under the jeep today to find a nice little leak out of the front differential... it seems to be coming straight out of the gasket. it's really not a very substancial leak yet, but i don't want it to get that way... how can i fix this problem? i was thinking if i drain the diff. and take it apart and just replace the gasket, but i don't want to mess anything up. hopefully you all can point me in the right direction! thanks in advance!
Are the bolts tight? Were you off road and peel the edge of the cover back some? Removing the cover and installing a new gasket or just a bead of RTV is pretty straight foward and you won't mess anything up-check out Stu's site here for procedure to change fluid. Stu-offroad

I have the same issue. Mine is the handy work of a dealership from a repair . Just not sure if I want to go thru the hassle of dealing with the dealership. I may just take care of it my self like TJSilverSport02 stated.
As mentioned, replacing the gasket on the diff cover is pretty straightforward and easy. I have done this on mine in the past with no problem. I get to do the pinion seal in the near future. Judging from the FSM, that looks like a LOT more fun...
