A stiff wire brush, rags and degreaser. Totally clean, DRY and a dusting of baby powder will show the actual leak/s.
Bolts can be refitted using PTFE tape, tab washers will hide the white .The 6 bolt torque tube may have removable shims, refit exactly as they are positioned . Refill with no more than 350mm of oil. Check your breather on top of torque tube is clear. New fibre washer on the deburred plug.
Put the hubs back on and drive it.
If the circular case gasket still shows leaking you're in for a bigger job, be aware the gasket thickness determines basic crownwheel adjustment.
I too need to do this work and have been putting it off on a couple of sevens
