Thanks for the replies. Spent some quality time last night with the manual to see what I was up against.
Without a tear-down to see what's really going on, it appears to me that the two seals between the splined differential shaft and the side gear on the right side are seeping. To access these seals, it seems that one, if not both axle gears need to be removed (and the axle housings with them), along with the bearing carrier. Then it's possible to withdraw the side gears.
