Checking for leaks

[jwuonog]

I will probably be taking a few short road trips this summer with the Explorer and want to check for the common leak spots before heading out.

The one I'm most concerned about is the hub actuator/front axle disconnect. Can I peek under and see it, or do I have to remove the splash tray?

I know the front CV bolts are known to leak too. Any other spots I should check?
