And help me decide how to fix this?
I can see it is a gasket leak of some sort.
Both axles on the drivers side is showing this. Is it as simple as checking the torque on the nuts?
Need to repair this axle, can you help me find the right way?

Axle flange gaskets, torque nuts with torque wrench clean stain with brake cleaner. Run it if seeping is still present then remove axle shafts clean off old gaskets and install new flange gaskets

75/90 weight synthetic. You will lose a little when you pull axlesJarhed1964, Final Drive, Vampire and 4 others Thank this. -
Easy fix, but replace those nuts with locknuts, every time the axle is pulled
