I have a leaky rear differential, I repaired the part facing the back of my truck, but I think that my leak is on the side with the drive shaft. How do I fix the leak, on that side of the differential?

That would be the pinion seal drop the drive shaft then remove the big nut. This will be the tough part unless you have compressor and impact gun. With nut off remove yoke pop out seal replace.
Good luck
