Hi Kevin.
Theres no seal in the centre of the flange , dont be tempted to tighten the nut though, as there is a crushable spacer that sets the preload.If you
tighten more than the preset amount the spacer will be crushed and the bearing preload overdone, the spacer then has to be replaced.
It may be the pinion seal however , to replace this you need to mark the flange and nut , unscrew counting the number of turns, replace the seal and
tighten the nut to exact original position.
Try a few searches on pinion seal replacement.

MMmm strange one but not impossible. It's not possible there's too much oil in there? is it?
You might have to remove the nut and use a sealant on the threads. Studlock or threadlocker would do.
As already mentiond don't overtighten the nut or you'll upset all the diff backlash settings.
