Time to take the diff cover off and check for anything on the magnet and reseal it with Mopar rtv and refill with Mopar or better 75w-90(????)and 4oz mopar additive. May want to look at the front too (75w-140)
I have never personally seen one just start to leak like that but the seal is 12-13 years old!
Did someone jack the rear end up with a floor jack recently? I always keep a piece of wood on my jack especially since I put the mag hytec diff cover on!
I would not stress about that unless you find the fluid is coming from the front where the drive shaft comes into it. If is has been sitting for a long time it may be the reason. Often times much worse on a vehicle to sit than to be driven due to seals drying up from lack of lube!

No jack has been put under the differential recently and this is a daily driver, it has not sat more than 48ish hours. Also, there does not appear to be any leakage from the "front" seal coming down.
Thanks for all the tips/tricks/advice!
