Leaking rear-end on exhaust

So my rear is leaking a tid bit and a little tid bit of that is getting on my exhaust. Should there be anything to worry about with that? Does that type catch fire/could it catch fire?

No, its just gear oil and it will burn off, at worst it will have a smell

I am having the same problem, the seal is leaking and letting gear oil leak over my I-pipe to the muffler!

I rarely see another f-body that doesn't leak fluid out of the pinion seal. A small amount is normal, but an excessive dripping is not. Pinion seal replacement would be required.
