I saw fluid on the inside of the right front tire. It appears to be coming from the axle shaft. What am I looking at in terms of fixing this problem? Model is a 99 grand chrke

It is not brake fluid, level & pressure are fine. I added gear oil early today, about a pint. Fluid is ozing out right onto spindle which is curved and then makes it's way onto inside of right tire. Also CV boots are fine, no cracks. Thanks!
