Default small leak around front diff 2007 800 sportsman

Any of you experenced this leak issue. If i were to guess it looks like it is right where the axel enters the diff. on the right side. Is there a seal right there that could need replaced? Any help would be appreciated...and thank you!

Yes it is the seal, it is a very slow leak, and it is a normal problem from what i understand from my service department. They suggested I do it myself by putting differential sealant in it, running it awhile and emptying it out and refilling with the proper fluid. That has seemed to work on mine.
I also hear it is a problem if you overfill. It appears these fronts take just the amount listed, no more.
