Rear differential half shaft leak

Just bought a 2010 MKZ AWD and missed this in my inspection. The rear differential appears to be leaking from the drivers side half shaft. Anyone have a video or details on how to fix this. I understand the half shatf needs to come out and seal replaced. Hope thats it.

Seeing I do not have any takers I will prime the pump. Took a peak at this tonight and oh crap. Looks like there is little to no access to the middle and upper diff cover bolts. Plus if you could get them out not sure the cover comes off without dropping the the differential down. I sure hope it does not come to that. My plan A is to pull the drivers side half shaft and seal, suck out the fluid from there. put fluid back in. Then put seal and half shaft back in.
