this is very hard if you do not know what you are doing. Ill try to step you through this

• pull wheels
• drain pun-kin case
• pull rear cover
• in between the spider and axle sets pull C ring with needle nose pliers
• pull hub and axle out CAREFULLY as there are roller bearings on the end of the axle housing
• pull seal out at the end of axle housing
• tap in new seal CAREFULLY and straight DO NOT BEND IT or it will be junk
• replace axle carefully as the roller bearings are still there
• replace C clip to original position
• replace axle diff cover and replace the gasket with a new one
• refill diff case
  
• install tire
• your good to go
  

If what you see leaking is very oily and does not evaporate, likely it is an axle seal. If there are no leaks in the brake system, that's the only thing back there that can leak. If the axle bearing is going away, it can damage the seal so make sure you look for small shiny metal flakes behind the seal when you replace it or you will be doing the job again very soon. Can't remember...that IS rear wheel drive right?
