Default transmission drip

I have transmission fluid dripping where the drive axle meets the transmission, any ideas, it probably drips till it gets to about a circumference of a baseball, any ideas to fix, is it a seal?

02 is kind of young to be dripping from the
tailshaft seal, from wear. A bad driveline angle
can interfere with the seal's ability to well,
seal. If the yoke is being wobbled by excessive
or mismatched driveline angle it will kick the
seal on every revolution. If you are having any
driveline vibration from that adjustable TA
(being not ideally adjusted for cruise angle) or
other suspension geometry changes (I am still
messing with mine trying to settle it down)
you probably want to get that sorted out before
replacing seals.
