   Yeah probably is the driveshaft/diff seal mate that sits in the box. About £4-5 from motor factors. The rubber ring on the drivers side shaft is just a dust/dirt cap

   Not too hard mate, just slide the driveshaft out (you may want to drain the box first or u will get a face full of oil lol), then carefully without damaging the gearbox casing pop the seal out of the hole with a screwdriver or hook tool, and then push in the new one and replenish the lost oil
