Default Output shaft Seal

So I recently noticed my driveshaft leaking a bit of fluid when doing some work on my 01 stepside. Upon observing it more a bit closely, looks like my output shaft seal is gone. Other than a factory A/C Delco seal, any others recommended?

I’m an OEM seal/gasket kinda guy. The after market seems to be very inconsistent and hit/miss with oil seals. You could try a national seal. GM uses them as standard equipment. Good luck

Is it leaking on the outside of the yoke or out from the small breather hole inside the yoke? Mine was leaking through the driveshaft yoke and had to remove the tail housing to replace the yoke's o-ring seal on the tail shaft.

Good time to check the bushing in the tailshaft.

Thanks for the replies!

​​​​​​It's leaking from the outside for sure. Noticeable in the floor.
