Message The diff bushings have a front *and* rear piece.
(Never put them in, but I have a set and they had big/small in the bag)

The leaky one is definitely a subframe bushing.
They're filled with silicone and can leak.
You'll probably feel her being a bit more loose than normal soon enough.
When they become empty there is slop in the rear end.

Your options are:
band-aid or replacement

band-aid:
- Subframe spacers (Some like it, others don't)

replacement:
- ES bushings (poly-uro, some hate the transmission of vibration through the frame, PITA to install)

- Whiteline rubber bushings (New, Joe @ ZSpeed sells em, rubber so better than ES)

- Solid Aluminum (Hello noise-city)

- Brand New Subframe (ONLY way to get the silicone bushings OEM, order a new $900 subframe)
