05 Expedition Oil Leak - Rear Diff

[peakay]

Has anyone had a differential leak on their expedition? We have been noticing oil in the driveway at the rear of our expy, which seems odd, but in looking under I found oil dripping off the diff. See photos:

I'm guessing its an input/pinion shaft seal thats gone worng. Anyone had this before or have a better diagnosis?

Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem with my 06 Limited - leak was coming from the front of the diff seal.
