Default ACK! My diff is leaking!

I back the car out yesterday to wash it and I found two small drips of clear fresh oil where the differential was.
I had the differential serviced last year before my first track day at 7500 miles. What could cause it suddenly
spring a leak?

I had this happen to me -- two or three drops of oil every night. I took it back to the Honda dealership, and they replaced the crush washer for free; quick and easy fix.
