My pinion seal was leaking til this week. It cost me a whole $20 to get it fixed at the local trans shop, and 12 of that was for the seal. It never leaked so bad that it dripped on the driveway, but I could smell it burning off the exhaust after a long drive. Best $20 spent on the car so far.

Most of them leak a little bit. Nothing looks too bad in that pic.
