Front yoke leaking?

Diff fluid is leaking out of my front yoke, it's running all the way down the diff and leaving a small puddle under it, and you can see the diff fluid on the breather tube and my UCAs where it's been misted on from the yoke spinning. Is this something I should worry about? I've had this XJ for like 6 months and it just started doing this.
 
Replace the pinion seal. Take the nut off that holds the yoke on and lightly tap the yoke off.
There is the seal. I use a big flat head screwdriver and pry on it all the way around till it comes out. Replace with new seal by using a rubber hammer and tapping it back into place.
Replace yoke and tighten nut down to proper torque number and good to go. Seals can be found at any parts store.
