Question Rear differential leak

Recently, I changed out my front and rear differential fluids on my 2021 Mule Pro MX EPS. I think I might have accidentally overtightened my rear drain plug when installing it and now I have noticed a drop or two of fluid on the ground right underneath said plug. Without draining it to evaluate the plug, does anyone have any solutions on what will need to be done to solve this slow leak? Thank you in advance.

I would drain out the rear diff fluid into a clean container for reuse. Evaluate your diff threads, copper washer if used, etc. Make sure that everything is clean prior to disassembly. A slow drip would bug the H*ll out of me.
