Differential fluid leak

[Bmang]

I just bought a "certified" pre-owned 2013 explorer limited with 30k miles. Drove it for 1 week and noticed black fluid all over the driveway. Took it straight back to the ford dealer where I bought it - and was told it was a "differential fluid leak". So the guy that sold it to me had a loaner car waiting for me and took care of all the details, and repairing it as soon as he get the part (dropped it it off last night -should be ready tomorrow). Would this worry you? I've never owned an explorer. I traded in my 2004 f-150 lariat with 200k for $6,000 only because it kept breaking down on me. I would have driven that beauty forever but didn't want to keep pouring money I to it. Any advice on the fluid leak?

I don't think I'd be concerned about it if they fix it correctly.
