Yep. Its axle oil. Kingpins and wheel bearings need done. Leak will be from the axle oil seal, depending on whats failed will affect the leak. I would guess wheel bearing gone as that sags and puts off centre pressure onto the oil seal creating the leak. Doesnt neccesarily make major noise or steering wobble when gone.
Wheel bearings need a special tool to get out and a press to remove/fit. I just removed the whole front hubs and took to a garage to get the bearings swapped. £10 in their hand and away i went
Dont overdo the grease as it will clog the vac lines in the hubs. Kingpin bearings & axle oil seal are easy on-the-driveway stuff with basic tools. The Wiki guide is brilliant help.
Bigjimny shop is a handy place to get spares

If there's a droning noise it's the wheel bearing, which needs the use of a good press and the tool.
As has been said, you may as well change the King Pin bearings whilst it's that far apart.
