Default Rear axle shaft leak

I have a 95 SC400 w/ 100k, I have very slight leaks from the axle shafts on both sides of the rearend housing. Nothing actually drips to the ground, but I can see where it is thrown up to underside of body over the rear housing. I bought the car with 94k miles and noticed it at the time.

Hopefully this did not induce heart failure in anyone, plan on getting it looked at this spring.

Is this common wear and tear? or should I be more concerned?

Thanks

It is common wear for the axle seals. This is something that you don't have to put on your list of top 40 things to fix.
