You can go to many websites for detailed repair information, I like to use autozone myself, you have to do a free registration, enter the vehicle you are working on and the use the "repair guide" section. Most vehicles have detailed info for things like front axle seals. Good Luck !
I believe it's called a trans-axle output shaft seal. Could also be the front differential pinion seal.
how do you replace left front seal on 2009 ford escape
On your Ford Explorer , 4x4 , you have a leak at the PASSENGER side front axle seal ( I have had my passenger side front axle seal changed 3 times now on my 1995 Ford Explorer ) The seal doesn't cost very much , the cost is the labor and I would say it takes about 1 and 1/4 hours to do the job

Get it repaired, of course.
Axle seal is bad and needs to be replaced
When the front axle seal first starts " weeping " it doesn't necessarily drip on your garage floor , but it will eventually !
Remove the tire and wheel. Remove the axle end cap. Remove the axle seal with a seal puller. Reverse the process to install the new axle seal.
you're either referring to the axle seal wear sleeve. it's a replaceable sleeve so that when the seal eventually wears a groove into it you can just change out the sleeve instead of the whole axle housing
Is it actually leaking from the axle seal or once it got warmed up did it shoot some fluid from the front differential vent hose ?
I'm guessing you are referring to a front pump seal or an axle seal. They are only about 5 bucks but to install them is a whole nother ball game.
