Default Axel leaking

My Dana 30 is leaking on the passenger side. I cant find any good write ups. I know I need to replace the inter seals but idk where there located and whats the part number. Do you guys think it will be okay to wait about 3 months to do it when I re gear or do I need to do it now?

Thanks guys.

The jeep seal number is 8121781. You must remove the carrier, axles and knuckle out to replace the seal. As for leaving it for three months, you can if you continually check the fluid level in the front diff. but I would not recomend it.
