Default Front differential leaks with pictures

My F150 drove into a bad terrain and was pulled out with a friend's truck.
Of course I used 4x4 Hi and Lo when pulling.
After driving home, I found the front differential leaks. Just found leaks at the cover and both CV axles are dry.

Is there anything to do with it? I'm ready to open the cover and replace the gear oil but I'm not quite sure if there is any part needs to be fixed.

Please tell me any possible damage that may cause such situation. Thanks!

If the front engages and disengages fine, then I'm inclined to say you're ok. Looks like maybe just a leaking seal around the pumpkin.

Your fine. It's just the seal. No rush to change it man. Wait for a nice day outside.
