Dark spot on front differential

Anyone ever see a large dark spot on front of the front diff? Is it oil from the breather tube or ???

Didn't have time this morning to crawl under truck to check it out...

Yep, had one of them "dark" spots. CP3 is leaking fuel and it is running down and dripping off the CPS harness.

Did you just get your oil changed or is this that something that came up. I know one day I crawled under my truck just for the hell of it and had a dark spot on the passenger side differential. Low and behold the oil filter was hand tight and spilling oil. Needless to say me and the guy at jiffly lube do not get along.

Just came up. Always change my own oil. Did that about 3 months ago. I'll have some time tomorrow morning to crawl around and get dirty.

Going to start a new post.... Leak seems to be coming from the fitting where the high pressure line leaves the cp3s.
