It sounds as if you are leaking lube oil from the front differential. I am clarifying this in case you ask someone to check the fluid level of the wrong component by accident.
You can just replace the seal from the CV joint to the front diff, though a number of pieces have to come off first. Not topping the fluid level off will eventually let the front diff go dry, causing wear, overheating, and eventual failure. Depending on how much you are losing, I'd suggest having it replaced soon...it's easy to forget about.
