Default 2012 F-150 leaking coolant from front differential ?

I have an f-150 that today started leaking anti freeze. Coolant temp never rose above midway and drove about 25 miles after first smelling and noticing the dripping off the front differential skid plate. After getting the plate off I saw the dripping coming from what I think is a cooler for the differential. Not sure if that is what it is. 28214390 08A BLMO41 E2017-22011 is some of the numbering on a decal on the unit. Also apparently made in lungtan, Taiwan Has a string of other numbers with a scanning block. Any help would be appreciated.

What engine do you have?
Post a few pictures of the coolant leak your talking about, from above and below with GOOD LIGHTING.
Differentials do not use coolant. Based on googling the numbers you posted that would be your power steering rack.

5.0 most often coolant leak is the Y hose, its just below the throttle body.
