Apologies for being all over the place on this...something else I noticed yesterday while under the car. On the side that seems to have the leak, my axle joint air guide is missing (I believe that's what it is - there is a companion piece on the other side that is still in place). I get that this has a cooling function, but is it critical? I'm just now realizing there may be a connection here, meaning this thing really does direct a lot of air flow up into this part of the drivetrain compartment.
