Looks like the rear diff and you had an axle seal blow out. Probably gear oil (is it thick motor oil like and stinky?) You should be able to drive 20 miles to the mechanic just fine, just don't do it with your camper in tow.
Also if it is indeed the rear diff, have them check the vent for the differential. It should not be blowing out like that on a 2017. It is supposed to allow the unit to breath when it heats up and cools down and my guess is when it got real hot when towing it wasn't able to vent and blew out the seal.
All in all it is not a major issue, just annoying. Good luck!
