Default Leaky Rear axle

Found some clear oil on the gagage floor under the rear axle with a strange smell coming from the area. Is this seals on my 99 with 11,000 miles.

Look at this area, where the half shafts come out of the differential.
( seal is the the round center section that has the orange paint marking.)
There are one on each side of the differential.
The driver's side is more common to leak.
That is probably where the leak is coming from.
Good luck.
