Default front diff leak

I was under the truck today working on exhaust and i noticed that where what i assume is the front driveshaft coming from the transfer case attaches to the differential up front, its leaking. I guess this is a seal issue and my question is how hard/what do i need to fix it.

----------

alright after search i figured out its the pinion seal and not too hard to do. Sorry, should have searched first.

----------

actually i still need some help, is there any how to's on how to change tihs seal out?

Front is more or less the same as rear on a 1-3rd gen. Not sure about your truck. Check the link out anyways. ( I searched again lol)

Just got done reading that before i checked this, i figured it was the same.

Looks meticulous lol but i guess it must be done When i go to order parts can i just order any ranger pinion seal all the seals are the same right?

No. Go to parts store and tell them year, 4x4 of course, engine size, auto/manual tranny and tell them you want a FRONT Pinion seal. It's really simple. Its a LOT easier to get the nut off the yoke with an impact gun. If you dont have one, be ready to get frusterated.
