Is it normal for the front axle to look like this? It looks like a seal might be failing. If so, would this be something that would be covered under my 7 year powertrain CPO warranty?

No, it shouldn't; and yes, it should be covered.

Is that the passenger side? And does your truck make a 'clunk' or rattle sound when turning left from that area? I think there might be an issue with axles on passenger side being loose going into the transmission. Just wondering.

I think it's the passenger side if I remember correctly. there's no clunk/rattle that I've noticed, but I don't drive the vehicle regularly, it's the wife's daily driver.
