You can check fluid level in the dif if concerned it's leaking from there but dif won't likely make a puddle they aren't filled above the output shafts you get dribbles usually.
Looking from the top of the engine bay, it looks like the stiffening plate isn't wet, just the output shaft. It looks like the output shaft if dripping onto the edge of the stiffening plate where it meets that black tubular framing.

I'll take a closer look later today at the OFHG and report back on that though!

If it was PS the fluid would be more of a red-tint though right? I checked my PS reservoir and the fluid level seems fine.
