Check axle breather is clear, have you checked the wheel bearings?

It's the bit that screws into the axle that you need to check is clear.
If it's blocked pressure will build up inside and force oil out of the easiest place which can be the drive flange.
If it's not blocked the flange gasket might just have failed or the bolts are a bit loose.
Being as it's noisey anyway, it needs stripping out to investigate further.
