Unless the leak is bad, I wouldn't worry about it too much.  With that
mileage, it already on borrowed time.  If you must repair, it should be no
big deal.  Drop the drive axle, remove the plug and circlips from the
flange, pull off the flange, and then pry out and replace the seal.  Re
assemble and your done.  I would only do the side that is currently leaking.
