Possible Axle leak/brake lead on front axle

So I have done alot of work to my new 1994 Jeep Cherokee SE (183,xxx 4.0L) and I have noticed that the only fluid leaking is a clear fluid under the right front hub/brake. I put a box under to watch it overnight and I cant figure out where it is coming from. I think it may be from the front axle/hub, but I wasnt sure what would be leaking then... I dont see the brakes leaking so I am thinking axle.

My question, is this possible, do you agree, and how do I fix it?

Thanks

ALSO PICTURES WILL FOLLOW OF ISSUE

If the axle tube is leaking, it'll pool inside the C area where the shaft exits the tube. Stick your finger in there and see

but that looks like what it is
I would agree thats probably it. My question is now, is it diff fluid? and what do I need to fix?

oh fyi just changed the front diff fluid with 75w-90 gear oil within the last week if that matters
