Remove both the front and rear nut (there is also one at the back).
Clean them both nuts and studs well to remove any oil.....you can start by using a degreaser like Purple Power or Krud Kutter and rinse it off with water.....then clean them with something better like Brake Clean or a similar solvent.
Dry everything off - then apply a small dab of RTV or a similar sealer. Apply a small amount to the stud threads and a small dab on the base of the nut.
Tighten the nut down.....end of leak.
(Anti seize paste may also work as a sealant).

Or just hit it with the pressure washer every few months.
Either solution will work depending on your personality.
