Rear end leaking!!

Rear end leaking!!
Got a 03 ram 3500, DRW,Auto,58,000 miles, 4:10s and all stock. Just noticed my inner rear tire is soaked in gear oil. I just got the truck about 3 weeks ago and it was dry then. When i took the hub cap off i seen someone had been in the hub before at some point and time because there was orange silicon on the cap. Looked like some idiot did a messy job sealing it. But i just wanted to see if anyone has had problems with axel seals or is this a rare problem. Its just the passenger side , the other side is dry.. got me worried a little because i will be pulling with this truck soon for work and i cant have little stuff like this happen at the wrong time. Any input would be great..Thanks Allen.

RE: Rear end leaking!!
Pinion seal leakage is unfortunately fairly common in Dodge rear ends. More so on the 9.25" in the 1500s, but still common in the 2500/3500 rear ends as well. One of the nice features we get to deal with ever since Chrysler went to the AAM (aka: "Corporate" axles). Never had these problems in the good old DANA days...
