After front axle change

2009 Honda foreman 500

I just tore a lower boot on my 500. Decided to replace the axle. Axle wasn’t seated properly so I had to re-do the whole thing. (Axle popped out of transfer case.) Had some thick grey oil leak out while I ran to auto parts store to get a new 17 mm socket (differential oil?). Now there is a squeaking sound, like brake squealers. I think that loss of (differential) oil may be the cause. What do you think? If it is that oil how do I replace it and what with? I’m trying to read through the online manual as you read this.

Thanks in advance
