Is my car leaking oil??

When i went underneath the car today i noticed lots of diff fluid splashed all above the rear of driveshaft and on the exhaust pipe.

I couldn't tell where it is coming from. The seal looks little wet but it is not too bad and the plastic relief valve is place..

Need help..

It smells like diff oil and it is so close to where the diff seal is.

That is the only place where there are any leaks.

If it is a diff seal would it be something i can attempt to do? I do have some mechanical experience but not much...

(I changed the clutch ones!!!!)

Yes. All chevrolets leak, discharge, disclose, divulge, drip, drool, exude, give away, let slip, make public, ooze, out, pass on, percolate, reveal, spill, transpire, trickle oil from somewhere.

whether thats whats in the pic or not is up for debate.
