Default Front Differential Oil Leak

I seem to have oil leaking from my front differential. The oil seem to be leaking from where the axle comes out of the differential.

Has anyone ever has this issue?

Is this DIY fix or no?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Probably needs a new axle seal, from your description. I hate installing press in seals, I've had bad luck in the past, but YMMV.

This is diy. YouTube search half shafts replacement and the. Half shafts seal replacement. Basically take off the wheel, then the caliper, then the hub, pull out the half shaft, knock out the old seal, replace with new seal and reverse the order.
