Couple differential leaks. What part do I need to stop the axle leak?

 






On an axle that is leaking profusely like that, first check the breather hose because the axle will breath through its seals (and dump fluid) if breather is blocked.
 






Front axle seal and diff cover (RTV, no gasket). The cover seal will require you drop the front axle.

Ditto on the breather... Make sure it's not plugged.
 






Thanks fellas. Ill check the breather and update you.
