If no smell, it isn't diff oil. Diff oil has high sulfur content (EP additives) and smells bad no matter what.
FYI, if you have the TVD, those clutches are using Toyota WS ATF while the center section is using standard gear oil. WS ATF is usually red, but depending on the surface it is staining, it might show a different color. Also there is a left unit and a right unit. They do not share lubrication, so each is completely independent from a fluid perspective.

Conclusion - both front & back struts on drivers side were leaking. Lexus stated extremely rare to have both struts and the same side leak. Being replaced under warranty. Surprised that the cost of the two struts was only $390.

In my time on Club Lexus, there have been quite a few blown shock threads/posts. I clearly remember the first one, it was a 2006 IS350 with less than 6 k miles. Both rear shocks were completely useless.
I am really happy you were able to diagnose the issue and get it properly repaired at no cost to you.
