Generally there is a seal on one side of the transmission for an axle, passenger side, and then one one the other side. These have seals that are generally pressed in and I could not find any reference to the, "bolted seal" your mechanic is referring to.
I am attaching removal instructions and a diagram of the front axle assembly.
