Default Drive shaft seepage at front diff

hello!
I was changing the oil on my 07 LR3 (129k miles) and noticed some minor (as it appears to me) seepage where the drive shaft links with the front differential. A little spattering on the skid plate.
having just replaced my rear differential, how concerned should I be? Start looking for replacement front as well? I take her off-roading and I’d hate to have a catastrophic failure out on the trail (or anywhere quite frankly!)
any input/suggestions/advice etc would be welcomed.
thank you!
James

Looks like its just a leaking pinion seal, hardly cause for replacing the whole differential.
