Check the levels in both to find out. Can not see anything in pic. If at the flange it is just a paper gasket.

The seal sits inside the axle tube so swivel oil can get to flange and leak if gasket failed / nuts loose
if seal has gone or the seal land on half shaft worn then oil will pass from axle towards flange and swivel
