Since you have a DI there is a 99% chance that your axle breather is clogged.
When it gets clogged the diff builds up pressure and it leaks from the weak point.
Mine leaked from the input shaft, replaced the axle breather and no more leaks.

You need new wheel bearings, STOP DRIVING THE TRUCK YOU ARE CAUSING MORE DAMAGE and it will leave you stranded.
If the bearing locks up completely and you are on wet or snow covered roads you may wind up in the ditch.
I hope you have another car to drive until you can have this towed to a shop or do the work yourself.
Do both sides, I bought the wheel bearing rebuild kit from Atlantic British.

Antichrist has part numbers to buy the parts at your local autoparts store.

You will need 2 of those rebuild kits, one for each side.

When wheel bearings go they can go quick.
Mine went out this summer, drove it to work and they started making noise, on the way home they were grinding and starting to lock up.
My "go to" guy did the work for me and the inner race on the inner bearing had welded it's self to the axle shaft.
So they went from noisy to locking up in less than 30 miles.
