Other than perhaps more pad wear to rear from Electronic Brake Force Distribution still on stock calipers on my ‘15. EBD on many makes causes more wear on the rear pads. I see the same on my Infiniti and Lexus as well and consider it normal these days IMO.
Looks wettest to me around the FIPG at the pan.
I’d clean up with brake cleaner and then apply some talcum or baby powder to the general area.
That should highlight where it is coming from pretty quickly
I'm usually not in a hurry & wait...not a fan of draping the hose over the rear of the vehicle.

I've never used anti-sieze on lug nuts myself. Never had issues removing but perhaps some areas of the country that use salt it could help. Plenty of other stuff (15 other things, toys and vehicles need maintenance throughout the year).... but this does change torque rating by like 20-30% (need...

The rear differential breather at least in my ‘15 is terminated in the cargo area right side

I’ve used Mazda 0W-20 moly since new. No noticeable oil consumption between oil changes.
I’m staying the course
Currently around 89k miles
I find this a very informative oil channel with in-depth coverage of everything oil related
Coverage on additive packages was eye opening as one size...
Are you able to share that dealer? I see similar pricing at Med Center and Mazda Swag but you have to get over $100 for free shipping
Med Center charged me $135 last month
••• Oops.. forgot I got two oil change kits :-)
Next year for me it is going to be '25 CX-70 PHEV or a '25 RX 450h+ PHEV to replace the '07 G35x (V36 Skyline)
Leaving it up to the wife on what she likes best
'15 CX-5 will still be in the stable for another 10 years along with my lifetime GX 460 (150 series LC Prado)
Are there a couple bolts or hose connections one can't get to through the fender or top?
I could have sworn when I was replacing fog lights with my Morimotos years back and looking up there it seemed accessible but maybe I'm having a false memory.
If it ever turns wet there that will likely be the cause but personally I wouldn’t bother with getting it fixed unless leak was significant enough to even allow drops to make it to the ground beyond the splash shield
Example from TSB
Madar: You have that oil residue on this area that required a rear main seal replacement on mine
It was never enough to cause noticeable oil drop on dipstick though
I’d clean up and see if it comes back. Mine would reappear until RMS was replaced...
