Leaking fluid from differential where the drive shaft enters

Does anyone why I would be leaking fluid here? If so, what part do I need to replace and how would I replace it?

Sounds like the pinion seal. The part is cheap, but swapping it is a pain. Its very common for it to leak.

Agreed. Mine had sprayed around the heat shield and pumpkin. New seal and good to go.
