Default Gear oil????

Noticed a puddle of smelly greenish blue fluid on garage floor. Took this pic to see where it was coming from. You'll see drops on the driveshaft and green paste splattered.

Tranission has been giving me fits from second to third shifts so was thinking it might be from that, greenish color told me problably gear oil, but no leaks from differential housing. Not too familiar with rear end assembly's.

Cars got a macked out 351W with blower and 9lbs of boost. My guess is probably the seal where the driveshaft inserts into differential right?

If so what now? New pinion seal.

Thanks(Thanksgiving, ha!) a bunch for any input.
