Angry Yet another problem... need help!

I was under my jeep, replacing my cps (PITA!), and i noticed my front diff. was leaking gear oil where the front drive shaft goes into the front diff.
Does any one else have this problem or know any way to fix it cause it just keeps getting worse and worse and sooner or later i am going to run out of gear oil. I have a 2000 cherokee sport with a d30 up front i think.

take out the drive shaft, take off the nut thats under it, pull off the yoke, pop out the seal, pop in the new one, put it back together, its not too bad.
