Crawl under Jeep & have a closer look.
Does it appear to be leaking form the seal on pumpkin up top, between cover & housing or ...coming out the back rear seal & spraying onto drive shaft & above?
Either way until leak is repaired, I would want to pull fill plug and add or make sure you have enough gear lube in the housing with Limited Slip additive If you have a trac-lok (limited slip diff)

If it is the rear input seal it is much easier to change than the front. I do recommend using an impact on the drive shaft bolts to remove and install them otherwise you may hurt yourself (lesson learned)...
