Weeping gearbox

My car has a slight drip which has been happening for some time. Today while I was doing an oil change and I found the source of the drip. It would appear as if some part of the gearbox is weeping gear oil and it's weaped onto the lower gearbox mount. Looking further, I saw the weeping appears to be coming from where the passenger-side axle connects to the gearbox, though I'm not 100 percent sure about that. What would be a potential fix for this? Should I just buckle and take it to a shop?

It’s probably the axle seal. It shouldn’t be that bad of a job.

This is for the wrong side but it should give you the idea. Also from my experience doing axle seals on my focus, definitely buy two so if you mess one up pressing it in you have another one.
This looks like the part but it says rear so I’m not a hundred percent sure.
