1985 4 runner Front Differential/Axle Leak

Just bought an 85 runner from a friend in Colorado and made the long haul up to Montana over the weekend.

About halfway up the trip I noticed a leak coming from the axle at the ball joint, and am pretty sure its diff oil. Anyone have any suggestions on places to order new seals, and how hard thats gonna be to do myself?

Am I gonna destroy my new rig running it locally in the meantime?
