Default Oil Leak

I recently found an oil leak near the passenger side front wheel (image attached) and I am thinking it is the seal inside the diff. It is a pain to disassemble so I would like a second opinion before I start removing everything to replace the seal. Could there be something else leaking at that location that is easier to check?

Break lines but then you wouldn't have breaks. Calipers may leek too but you would know cuz no stopping.

Pull the wheel off and have a gander. Good eyesight is all that is required to diagnose it.
