No. The pinion seal would be at the differential input.
I believe it's called a trans-axle output shaft seal. Could also be the front differential pinion seal.
The only seals on the driveshaft itself would be on the slip yoke. You're probably thinking of the pinion seal, which is at the front of the differential, behind the input yoke to the differential.
how to cahange front pinion seal
remove rear drive shaft. remove pinion yolk from front of diff.remove oinion seal replace with new one. replace pinion yolk, replace driveshaft,.. dhceck ujoints of drive shaft while out, its a good time to replace them
Generally it is the pinion seal(where the driveshaft attaches). On a high mileage vehicle a groove can be cut in the sealing surface allowing a leak to start. When it is taken apart, the sealing surface should be looked at carefully. If it is worn a 'SLEEVE-N-SEAL' ( FELPRO COMPANY)can solve the problem.......1930fcoupe It could very well be the pinion seal, or the differential cover gasket, depending on if the fluid leak is coming from the front or rear of the differential.

The pinion seal is shot. A mechanic can replace the seal and check for problems.
Depending on the vehicle, a diff bearing kit is a kit you can purchase that contains all the parts to freshen up a differential. This usually includes the pinion bearings and races, pinion bearing shims, pinion seal, pinion crush sleeve, pinion lock nut, carrier bearings and races, carrier bearing shims and a new gasket.
It may be your differential or your whole rear end or it could just be a worn out gasket.
to replace pinion shaft seal you need to drop the drive shaft from the rear end then with large socket remove pinion nut from front of yoke remove yoke remove old pinion seal install new pinion seal reinstall yoke and pinion nut to specified torque re install drive shaft note now is the time to check and see if U-joints need replacing
