Default fluid leak

Had the 05 in for an oil change the other day. During the under body inspection we noticed that the left rear axle seal is leaking. Has anyone had this occur on their car, if so what was the cost of repair. Thanks for any input.

Depends. Is this the seal leak where the axle goes into the differential, or is this a boot leak at the inner or outer axle joint?

It's where it goes into the differential. I'm guessing that's a bigger job.
