Rear Differential leak

I am a new member as of today and have a 1979 450 SLC whihc has a slight drip from the rear differential housing. Is this merely a gasket replacement task or is it something more serious? Is this a do it yourself job for me? Mileage is 152,000.
Thank you in advance for all input.
Kurt

Drip is coming from the housing, the rear end 'chuck' that contains the gears.
