Crawling around under my truck
Well, I know I've got the oil pan wrench, lol.
Gonna have to do some digging to make sure I've got all the tools for the pinion seal...
But still have to go buy the filter wrench, lol.

If you do not see active drips, I wouldn't worry about either of them. A small amount of leakage is permissible, so long as you aren't seeing spots on the driveway.
On the oil pan wetness, this could be caused by a loose pan. Atleast it was on my old Bravada. Tightened it all down and it cured the leak. But mine was leaving oil in my driveway!...

I take it I've gotta drop the front diff to change the pinion seal, right?
If that's the case... Imma start shopping for a locker, lol, I'll double check the fluids and such when I get my truck off the blocks...

No, you don't have to drop the diff to change the pinion seal.
Remove the front drive shaft, (mark the nut and the pinion with a centerpunch for location)remove the nut and washer, tap the flange off with a hammer, pop out the old seal. pop in the new seal and reassemble. Then check your diff oil level.
Takes about an hour with air tools.
