Default Strange noise coming from rear end

I noticed this creaking noise coming from the rear end of the car a few weeks ago and now its starting to get worse. Seems like the noise goes away under acceleration, but comes back when coasting. Also goes away when in reverse. The sound changes depending on my speed, so I think it has to do with my wheels or drive shaft. The seal where the input shaft and diff connect has been leaking a bit, but I when i opened up the fill plug on the diff, oil came out so i figured it was ok. Could it be a bearing or coupler on the driveshaft? Its been driving me crazy since I can't figure out where the noise is coming from.

You can hear the creaking about midway through the video when I shift into drive. I can also hear the creak a little bit when parked and shifting into drive.

Strange noise coming from your rear end? That usually indicates you have to use the bathroom, son.
