There has been very considerabe previous discussion on oils and levels and the consensus was very firmly that a low oil level in the diff is advisable. The original pattern seals are inclined to leak.
Unless you are particularly competent mechanically i would not disturb a back axle for a mere oil leak. The thickness of the gasket influences the mesh and bearing preload or clearance. The previous gasket may not match any replacement.(The previous may be home made of random thickness). Establishing the difference and correcting or adjusting for can get involved with the diff fully assembled
