After switching off the engine a large pool of brown oil is deposited on the floor, right in front of the drivers side front wheel. Where can this be coming from as no indicator lights on the dash show low oil levels

Have determined it is coming from behind driveshaft pulley, in slow drips. Have cleaned the entire area and located the leak-how difficult is it to change the oilseal on driveshaft and is it expensive?
