Hi
That would be the shaft seal a common item to leak. Pulling axle will be the job seal easy to replace. As cfor trans fluid easy enough to drain and refill.
Let me know if you DIY
Thanks for donate

Need to remove wheel. Cotter pin and axle nut, have assistent hold brake. Then remove tie rod then lower ball joint from spindle remove caliper and wire out of way. Then while pulling out on hub push axle free of hub, Then use pry bar to pop inner CV from trans.

Start by having the vehicle serviced. New plugs/wires/distributor cap and rotor arm. Also use a good fuel cleaner in the tank
