3510 front wheel axlel leaking bad

Went out to the garage tonight and under the front left wheel was a puddle of oil. I have only took the wheel off to see where the leak was coming from. There is no play in the final case and it is leaking where the wheel shaft goes into the wheel shaft cover that has 9 or 10 bolts holding it on. Wondering if anyone has ever been in there so I might have an idea what to expect. I hope it is a simple seal to replace. Is there anywhere on the net to find diagrams with part numbers. I am a little leary about taking the wheel shaft cover off, never been there before so any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated here.

It isn't a bad job at all, and hear is the parts breakdown.

It looks like #17 is an inner and outer seal maybe? After work, I will open it up. Thank you for the diagram!

Got the wheel axle out, bearings gear and found one of the seals, which just has an o ring around it, was broken into. You can see it in the pics I provided. I got lucky and found some o rings at work that were very close in fit. Maybe just a few thousands thicker. I wrapped them around the metal seal and reinstalled them and the bearing. Currently, I am letting it soak in some tranny fluid to see if I have any seepage. I don't expect to and plan on putting it all back together tomorrow. With a little luck, I should be back in business with very little cost to repair. Thanks for the diagram again, Galen.
