Default Rear end leak.

Well, I just noticed last night, that my rear end is leaking right by where the rear sway bar bushings are. It is very close to the differential housing. It is not all one solid piece. One bar that is smaller in diameter goes into the differential housing, and that is where its leaking. Does anyone know if there is a seal and/or bearings that go there? I have been searching online and can't seem to find anything.

Just got back from my mechanic today. He said that there isn't much that can be done about it because there is not a seal that can be replaced. It is all part of the differential housing. I also saw it at the dealer in a diagram that one of the salesmen showed me. My mechanic said not to worry bout it cause it will take a long time for all the gear oil to leak out. But I am still concerned cause I don't like to have to be constantly taking it in to check the level of the oil. I know it would cost a lot of $$$$ to have it fixed, and I was thinking bout going to a junk yard, but I am not sure. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
