Default help needed

changed out the gear oil in my rear diff yesterday and drove to work to find gear oil sprayed up under the bed. Looks like it is coming from above the diff. and spraying down on it. Maybe the axle vent? Not usre what is going on with this. Any help you can give is appreciated. Gotta drive home soon. thanks guys.
