Default Fluid is leaking near U-joint?

There seems to be fluid leaking right where the drive shaft goes into the rear-end just behind the U-joint. Is there a seal that can be leaking? And is this complicated to fix? Sorry about the dumb question but just noticed this and makes me paranoid. Any help would be great! Thanks!

It’s not that simple.
