Front Axle Leak

After alot of searching and educating myself in these forums, I replaced my front wheel hub assembly. Now I have a gear oil leak on that axle. I don't remember seeing a seal that I should have replaced. Any advice or recommendations to stop this leak?

they might just be weeping a little and it might stop, just keep an eye on fluid level. if not then be prepared to do the job all over again along with pulling the carrier.....dont forget to lube the axle shaft ends with some grease before insertion.....when doing the hubs if u caught some sand on the shaft ends which is common u might have wiped out the seal, its not easy to insert them perfectly centered.

Thanks, I should have waited awhile before asking, after I drove it to work and home again it seems to have stopped.
