Leaking transmission fluid from drive shaft (head, leak, 1993, difference)

[Alacran]

1993 fleetwood

I bought a car and left it there for like 3 weeks. Noticed a puddle after I moved it. About 2 drops an hour or less.

I'm guessing it's a sealant after the googling I did.
Wanting your opinions.

If it is that... Is it easy to fix myself? OR how much would it be to get it changed.

-Edit-
Now that I look into it more.
I think it's the Pinion seal...
Leaking differntual fluid

You might want to start off by trying one of the various seal condtioners/leak stoppers..........sometimes they do the trick, couldn't hurt.

Maybe $100.

Which is it?
As it will make a big difference in price.

Pinion seal.

The transmission fluid is topped out. So it has nothing to do with that.

It's gotta bet he differential leaking.

Stick your head under and look.

just because the dip stick still says it is safe or full does not mean a leak has not recently occurred.

If it is the pinion seal my guess is around $200 just for the seal and fluid+time. Now if a bearing is bad expect to pay much more.
