Default Leaking Rear Differential Fluid

Just brought my car in to have my f-sport springs inspected for the clunking noise and I found out that my rear differential fluid is leaking. How'd this happen? One of the guys at Sonic MS said that there's a recall for it? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

The only way I can see that it would begin to leak is if one of the axle shaft seals went bad. I highly doubt it's leaking from the plug or the case. Can you see where about the fluid is leaking from?

Yea, I think the tech guy said it's leaking from the seal, the driver side seal to be exact.
