the axle tube, on my 96 ford F=150 is leaking/dripping gear oil. It is the right side, where the tube goes into the cast iron pumpkin. How do I fix/repair this?

Jack it up on the leaking side so the gear lube vacates the area. Clean theleaky spot thoroughly, removing paint, grease, etc.. Choices to fix the leak...GOOP sealant, braze over the leaky spot and probably a number of other methods. GOOP works good!

Some factories use a few plug welds, instead of a bead around the tube.
