Definitely see the dealer. The drip I had was not like your pics. I did hit it with some brake cleaner at 2K and it never came b:sleep:

I just bought a 2020 bighorn a few weeks ago and noticed while doing an oil change after 1K miles of break in that there was a small drip in this spot. I wiped it off thinking maybe I splashed some oil when I drained it. That was about a week ago, then today I remembered and took a look and there it was again, a small amount. It’s not dripping (near as I can tell) on to the ground and seems to take a while to come back. Do you think it’s probably the grease people seem to be running into? If it comes back I’ll post a picture, I didn’t think to this time before I wiped it again.

Noticed this leak while changing my oil the other day. 2020 Ram Rebel with 20k miles. I doubt this is assembly grease. I wiped it clean the other day, and 24 hours later, here are the pics. Does this look like oil or ATF? Making an appt with the dealer….

As I recall the ZF fluid is a greenish color. I'd have to say it looks like motor oil.
