Leaking front diff

So i finally got my project 88 f250hd build on the road. Now the front diff is leaking to the point where it leaves half dollar sized spots on the ground. How bad is it to pull the front diff so i can re seal it????? Also any tricks to possibly fix it temporary would be great. Oh yeah its leaking from the diff not the axle seals.

My front diff. also was leaking because of the seal so i had to get it replaced. For a temporary fix they do make a liquid that you would pour in that swells up your seal to stop the leaking. Not sure if its that hard to do because i have not done it myself but to give you an idea a local shop wanted around 200 bucks to replace my front diff. seal and the seals are like $20 bucks i believe...
