Default Oil leak after clutch replacement

Hello.

About a month ago I sent my Volvo 850 to the shop to get the clutch replaced. At request, they also changed the rear main seal and the driver side axle boot. Apart from the boot everything is Volvo original.

I haven't really driven the car much since then as I'm in the middle of a PCV repair. Not for any particular reason other than why not and to learn. Due to issues with ordering the wrong parts and waiting for the correct parts to arrive the car has been sitting for a while now and today I notice a puddle of oil under the car. Based on the pictures what is the best guess as to what is leaking?

Cheers for any help!

Looks like an axle seal, a $7 part.
