rear diff leak

seems like its coming from the speed sensor at the top of diff. it looks like it got drenched in it. i dont know how much fluid is left. is there an o-ring on that sensor that could be bad or the pinion seal do that too?

Is the breather hose in tact? I've seen those burst and make a mess

You could pull out your speed sensor and put Teflon tape (PTFE) on the threads, that may seal it up I'm not sure, there may be an o ring

Make sure the breather hose isn't clogged causing seepage to come out somewhere else.

Give the diff a good degreasing and see if/where the leak comes back and go from there.

It's the speed sensor leaking. Diff is still full tho. Any idea how to get the sensor out?
