Default Post lift front diff leak

As i was having a gander under my truck the other day i noticed a small bit of gear oil that seems to be leaking down from where the front driveshaft meets the front diff. I just recently had a the Rough Country 5" lift installed, ive been monitoring it for the last day or two and checked the diff oil level, it doesnt to be down any significant amount. Im hoping its something as simple as a seal caused by the increased angle from the t-case to the diff since its just the occasional drip leaking down! Any thoughts on what seems to be the culprit here?

ive also been hearing the occasional squeak as well, i isolated it to the same area. The squeaking sounds rubber against metal in nature! time for a mechanic?
