I've never had a leak there, but I have heard of them.

I think I'd try cleaning it really well with wire brush & a solvent. Final clean with a de-oiling solvent. Then JB Weld it.
If that doesn't fix it, the tube might be moving in the housing and welding might be a good idea.

It's common for drag race cars to weld the axle tubes to the housing as they are just a press fit with a spot weld, and can twist in the housing. Many use a NI-rod and begin by welding 4 evenly spaced spots around the joint on each side. This can be done in the car but the cover should be removed to relieve any pressure build up during welding.

Thanks
Randy
