Default Axle seals

Well, I figure I will ask all my Texas buddies first. I filled up with gas about 20 miles from my house, and as usual I walk around the car and don't see anything out of the ordinary. I get home and there is gear oil all over my wheel and everything on the passenger side. I am guessing it is the wheel seal. I am not sure if the bearing is bad or anything. What parts should I get to fix it for now. I am looking at a 12 bolt later this year but just need to drive it for now as it is my DD. Thanks.

Ok. I see like 5 different types of bearings on the auto parts websites. Not sure which to get. Also, I hope that if the bearing did go, which I don't think it did, then don't I need to get a different type to use the same axle?
