2012 5 litre, XLT 4X4

Hopeing someone can shed some light.
Have this noise in rear end, "clicking" sound, when stopping, putting in reverse and applying gas, usually a double click, have into dealer, apparently his is not the only one, they are saying the raptors are coming up with the same issue, FORD apparently does not know what's causing this? As well fluid is leaking out of the rear diff, not dripping, just damp around the seal to the diff from the drive shaft. Needless to say, I am worried FORD will abandon the problem after the warrenty is off.. Althought they have recorded the problem, they re-set the diff "spec's" (apparently it was out of adjustment), not sure what that means?
Anyone have any advise or similar issue's? I surely am now concerned, a brand new truck only 12,000 miles and this happens.

Appreciate your input.

Signed: Concerned

Where drive shaft and the diff meet there is a pinion seal that leaks. had to replace mine. Like a 160.00 at pep boys.

NEED TO KEEP EYES ON THE FLUID LVL IN DIFF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
