I am not by my car now, but at the end of the axle shaft there is a sealing ring I believe. That may be your problem. You'll need to pull the axle out.

There should be 2 plugs in the diff, upper one is for fill, lower for draining it. That's what usually is on differentials. The fluid should be to the bottom of the tread of the fill hole.
