Sounds like pinion seal is seeping a bit. No cause for alarm until it starts driping a lot and then it is time to change it.

How much of a job is it to change? I haven't noticed any fluid making it to the ground yet.

The hardest part is getting the pinion nut off as it can take some serious tools (I use a 3/4 inch impact gun). It is VERY important though that you scrib a mark on pinion stub and nut before you rem0ove it and tighten it back to same place to keep preload correct. Get it too tight and set preload to high and you can burn up pinion bearing and have a lot bigger problems.
