.... give it a good shake - if there is any real amount of play do something with it, seal, bearing, sleeve, whatever.
If it feels 'right' check the fluid level in the differential - even a decent seal will have a problem if the diff was over-filled. If the oil is low and it's still leaking you need to do the seal at least, though I'd consider finding a nice pumpkin and swappint it straight in. If you can find one from a matching front axle that hasn't done much work, for example...
