Front End Pinion Seal?

Crawling around under my truck the other day and saw that the bottom of my front diff was wet looking. Wiped it with a rag and thought that maybe my engine breather tube was causing it. Checked it this afternoon and noticed that it was wet again. Checked fluid level and was able to touch it with my finger. Changed diff fluid about 12,000 miles age w/amsoil 75w 140. Could it be pinion seal? No play in the front drive shaft. Gasket on cover? Doesn't seem to leak much.
