Default front differential seals

I've go a leak on both sides of the front diff. I'm going to replace the seals. My question is, should I replace the inner and outer on the passenger side, or can I get away with just replacing the outside? Is there supposed to be oil in the tube? There obviously is, if it's leaking out of the outer on the end of the tube. If there's not supposed to be, then I guess it does need to be changed because it's obviously leaking. Thanks

i dont really think there are inners on these front axles. theres just the outside axle seals and that holds the fluid in the tube, yes there should be fluid in that tube due to there being a bearing by that seal to keep it lubed up. the long side kinda has a seal where that tube bolts to the center section but if its falling out the ends then yeah just replace the outer axle seals
