I discovered a right front axle leak when I crawled under to change the oil. The truck seems to drive fine. No diff noises that I am aware of. Please examine the pictures. Is it possible to pull the axle and replace a seal? Does this leak mean the diff must be badlands need to be rebuilt? Do I need a new axle? How would you guys handle this leak?
I look forward to your advice. Thanks for any and all comments

thanks for the replies. my thought is to pull my axle and reinstall it with a new seal with the part number tkb500050 from the parts diagram. i would drain the diff fluid and replace it and replace the breather tube cap.
do you guys think this a good plan from viewing my pics. should I get the new axle. should I worry about examining and rebuilding the diff. hoping for some expert guidance
sincerely
