Fluid ever been changed? Any possibility it was overfilled?

apparently my "rear right drive shaft" is seeping. This was noted in 2017 from previous owner's mechanic.

i had the car up on the hoist today and my personal mechanic did not see any leaks or anything of concern. Never got a cel light or anything.

i'll be changing fluids at 125,xxx kilometres. (canadian car)
