Default Cossie 4x4 front driveshaft oil leakage

My cossie 4x4 '91 has an oil leakage at the front driveshaft at the right side of the car (turbo site). I have replaced the oil seal from the driveshaft in the diff, but still its leaking. When just cruising it seems to be ok, but as soon as you hit the pedal it gets messy underneath.

I have noticed that the driveshaft has a little bit more play (up and downwards) than the driveshaft at the other site. Could it be that the driveshaft bearing at this site that is leaking oil is defect because of the play it has? And therefor it still leaks oil? Or is it maybe an adjustment of the bearinghousing to get rid of the play and thus of the oil leakage?

Anyone with experience about this subject who can tell me about the work to get this changed and solved?
