Can anyone point me in the right direction for fixing a rear axle leak on a L39? Some sort of write up or video or something? It is on the left side. I haven't pulled the wheel yet but it is pretty clear the leak is coming from the rear axle from everything I can see. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The WSM (aka service manual) will have the details.
It's fairly simple once you get into it.

But fairly complicated to get to it, as you will need to drop / remove the subframe to get to the axle housing.

Common reason for them to leak is because of worn or damaged bearings.
