Good morning.

In most cases the axle seal is the issue. it is caused by either the bearing has worn out and there is play in the axle or the axle shaft itself is worn not holding the axle stable.

You will need to remove the axle and inspect it for wear as well as the bearing.

Where is it leaking from the pinion flange seal or one of the axle shaft seals?
