That would be the Pinion seal leaking. Slide under your car and try to wiggle the tail shaft up and down. Its ok to have a tiny tiny bit of movement but a lot of movement means your pinion bearing has excessive play in it which will stuff your crown wheel and pinion.
Get it checked as diff rebuilds are not cheap.

A mate has had this problem with his ute and it was a reasonably cheap and easy fix - but it was caught early.
