Axle seal leaking

The front axle seal on the passenger side of my 2002 Ford F-250 7.3L PSD (204,000 miles) is leaking about 5 drops of oil per day. I had it checked out. My mechanic said the axle seal is leaking and it is an expensive fix and to just add oil to it until something else goes bad (the ball joints and everything else were fine).

I forgot to ask him how to add lubricant to the wheel. Can anyone tell me how to do so?

Thanks in advance.

check your front differential. That is the first item to check and see if the fluid is ok.
