Default Dif leaking?

Hey guys I just noticed today that my car seems to be leaking dif fluid. How would I stop this? I am going to change the fluid soon anyways (next two days) should I worry about it untill then. The leak is very slow, 2-3 drops a day.
Thanks

That would be your differential mount leaking. Those mounts are fluid filled. You're probably gonna want to replace both mounts.

What would this cost me to fix, myself and at a dealership. Looks like the parts are cheap, but I think I would have to remove my exhaust. How long will it be ok to drive with this?

All you need to drop is the sway bar, and the mount will come out.

Left leaking mount is a common problem. Just change the leaking one. Fix it yourself, it is very easy.

You're ok to drive a little while. you wont harm anything.

I'm going to add...only fix it yourself if you are 100% confident in your ability to safely raise the car to work on it.
