To make a long story short, I'm fighting breast cancer and definitely struggling to stay afloat so going to a shop is a no. I don't even know what the part is that shows a leak and sounds like something is broken if I attempt to drive. I am going to have to attempt to do this on my own but I need any advice I can get on what to do. Thank you

Appears to be a rear differential seal leak. It could also be the pinion gear seal.

I'm being honest when I tell you this is not something I've had any experience with, but there will be plenty of help following behind me.

Looks like the pinion seal. Doesn’t appear to be leaking too bad as it isn’t throwing gear oil around on adjacent surfaces. Is there any on the ground after you are parked for a while. If not, while it needs to get fixed seems like it would be okay to drive, but keep an eye on it.

Same as @Anybodyhome I’m no expert, just doesn’t seem to be that bad of a leak provided there is not any drops / puddles in the ground.

There's nothing on the garage floor, it sure sounds bad though. Thank you for the info
