If it's Offside or Driver's side to most people then it will be the Differential Oil seal.
Simply job to do but you need either a special tool or a piece or tube the correct diameter of the seal and record the depth of the old one so you can fit the new one to the right depth.
You'll have the remove the driveshaft, there's 2 roll pins holding it in. Need a punch to knock them out and some sealant or maybe thread lock will do, when refitting them, or get some new ones.
Got the same problem with Vera, my '93 S. But because of what is a growing list of engine gasket problems, I'll have to take her to a garage.
Any Renault/Volvo specialist should know what to do and it shouldn't be too expensive, 'bout an hours labour charge + parts and Gearbox oil
There are always ample warnings and there are always subtle signs,
And you would have seen them coming but we gave you too much time.
