Question Leaking Rear Boot? 300SD

I have a 1984 300SD, looked under the rear today and noticed a bit of "wetness" around the boot that comes off the differential and covers the drivers side rear drive axle. What might I be looking at, busted boot? A DIY job or pro's only?
All advice, ,MB related, is appreciated
Ron

Fixed this one after some advice from an excellent MB mech.
For all of you that have not done this simple maintenace I suggest you do.
Remove vent valve off top of differential, clean , make sure air flows easily and replace. If the differential cannot breathe oil pressure builds and it (oil) finds its way out.
I did this to mine and all is well
