Sorry LG I bet it's the brake wheel cylinder and he lost all the brake fluid.

With the oil on the cable. That looks like a pinion seal leak(sling'n oil).
Is the vent hose plugged? Is there any slop/play in the pinion yoke?
Was the diff just serviced?

Oh definitely not. I know the rear pass cylinder is blown out, that's where the fluid on the wheel came from and I have no brake pressure at all. I'll get it cleaned up and fixed this week and then on to the next thing I find.I would not drive the Jeep till that rear oil/fluid leak is found. IF it's the brakes like mtnwhlr says. You're in very bad shape-Not much better if it's gear oil.

With that kind of leak your brake linings are likely saturated. Essentially you need to rebuild that entire brake. At the same time go ahead and do the other side. The wheel cylinder is likely good, but it doesn't hurt to check and wheel cylinders are inexpensive.

I added a clear fuel filter since I have vaporlockophobia.

And some folks say the badlands winch is . This says as much about your winch plate attachment as it does the winch. at that point I'm not entirely convinced that the "Tree Saver" was necessary.
The way I see it the tree saver used with a clevis will protect the cable from the hook fraying the cable when it is hooked around it. I have always wanted to try using a winch cable as a zip line using a tree saver, clevis, and snatch block.Agreed. No tree saved there at all.
