Need help with a rear end leak?! my car that is. :)

I've got a major leak out of my rear end..... ahem. So the gear lube looks like its coming out of the seal at the front of the rear end where the drive shafts connects. Its coating all the way around to the rear of it but im assuming its from driving and pushing around. I for some reason cant find the name of this seal or the process to replacing it.
Its been a while since ive been on here or really worked on my poor 85 gsl. Last year I got married, bough a home and invested into a 2011 HEMI grand Cherokee for the mrs. so the first gen got put in the garage for a while. Now the problems seem to have piled up a bit and I MISS driving her. I have a 12a Bridgeport that still runs strong but makes it less fun in the long run ironically so im pulling it hopefully next weekend..... (if anyones interested in a 12a bridge). So long story short I just wanted to say hello again fellow first gen lovers!!!
