2019 Steering Leak, normal?

[jmm3807]

Hi,
Attaching a photo of underneath my steering column. There is some fluid seepage/leakage around the connecting point. Specifically you can see the bright amber color of oil at the top of the photo. These cars now don’t have power steering fluid since it’s electrically assisted power steering so that can’t be it.

2019 CX5 Signature with 15k miles. I’ll gladly take it in I’m just wondering if anyone else has this also going on.

Wipe it clean and see if it reappears.

Looks like grease leaking out of that U-joint.

seems like assembly lube to me, but honestly I haven't stuck my head under there to see if it is similar on mine.

Just grease imho

I know. I have enough trouble crawling under there to change the oil. I don't think there are boots or anything on that part of the steering shaft so I don't know if it can leak.
