I noticed my front diff oil seal is weeping and my trans oil seal is leaking a bit.
The trans side is a little worse as it has a occasional drip. I cleaned both areas up and will keep a eye on them. Is this the norm for the drive shaft seals?

My Can-Am Commander would do this also at the diffs if sand built up around that area. As soon as I cleaned it up they would stop leaking.

After running the machine at idle the leak seems to be coming from above the drive shaft. I brought it to the local dealer. They said it’s covered under the drivetrain warranty.

On a BX2670 the leak at the front is likely the engine rear main seal. (front on a BX!)

The Service dept stated the Tech said my drive shaft seal was the culprit. I could have sworn it was leaking higher up than that seal. When I pick it up I’ll run it there for a few mins to see if it leaks.
