Default Help with a leak

2010 4.6 3V XLT 4X4...have noticed a greenish white milky fluid after the truck has been parked over night. When I crawled under, I found the point where it is leaking from, but not necessarily the point of origin. I am not what you would call mechanically savvy. The leak is on the passenger side near the axel, I think. I have some crappy pictures I will try to upload, but they may be a little too close up. Without jacking it up, I can't get a better pic.

I won't be able to get it in the shop for a few days at least. Any ideas?

From that pic it looks like an axle seal leaking. If its milky white then you have water in your diff. Either that or a coolant leak high up and landing on the diff.
