Leak on diff. and axel

Hey yall,
So I took my truck on a trip this weekend and when I got to my destination, I noticed a leak under my diff. When I crawled under neath there was fluid all over my axles and bottom half of my diff. Do you think this is just the seal ont he diff.? It looks like its comming out where the axels go in two but its hard to say from all the fluid everywhere. I also pulled the drain plug and it still has fluid in it so its not a crazy leak i guess. Its also spraying up in my wheel wells and the tail gate and bumper.

If its going up into the wheel well,i would assume that its the axle seal(s).

I just had mine done under warranty. You have to take alot of stuff off and pull the axles. I don't think it is a hard job but it is time consuming. The shop was sent 3 sets of seals before getting the correct ones so watch out for that.
