Yes, just a small amount of grease around the seal to lubricate it. You could also use transmission fluid to lube it. The oil is leaking from the transfer case. Keep in mind that as you accelerate, the oil is moved towards the rear, so, it's not an uncommon place to develop a leak over time. You can check the transfer case level and add as needed.
Another place you may want to inspect is the body mounts between the frame and body; we have had a few Pathfinders on this site that have had to have them changed out.
As far as the ATF, a little over is not going to hurt anything. If it's a lot over, than you could always drain some out or take it back to the shop that serviced it and have them drain it out.
