Degrease it first and confirm it's the CV-input shaft seals. If so, then you'll need to remove the CV's and replace the inner seals. They're cheap from memory, but a pain in the ass to get the inner CV cups out.
I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!

until then:
1. 2001 Merc-Benz A160 (porta-loo on wheels)
2. 2007 Peugeot 307 TDi (more fun than you'd expect)
3. [url=ttp://ftoaustralia.com/v3/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=25373]2009 Mitsubishi Triton Di-D (a monster in its own right)[/url]
4. 1992 Nissan NX Coupe (club car and project car)
5. 1996 Holden SB Barina - "The Nugget"
6. 1996 Jeep XJ Cherokee Sport - The Budget Build
7. 2010 Toyota Landcruiser 76 Series - V8 Goodness... - Build coming soon.
8. 1990 Audi 90 manual - The delightfully dignified daily driver

Pop the shafts & replace the seals.

You could probably source the seals locally, there's nothing special about them, they're a standard type size seal. Any bearing shop can match up.

Are these just a pry and replace?

Problem solved new seals installed. Getting axles out was a pain and honestly wasn't expecting so oil to leak out.
