I have a oil leak that appears after the tractor sits for a while. The leak seems to be coming from the bottom of the 3 point lift arms. Is there a seal where the lift arms attach to the bottom of the differential ?

Welcome to TBN Starbarge
Yes, the there is a solid shaft that runs between the lift arms that actually flexes under load that is part of the "load and depth control". In short the ends that you see sticking out are not simple studs for attachment.

The seals are number #26 in the diagram. If you haven't done this already you can sign up at John Deere parts and view parts diagrams such as this one for free. This includes pricing the parts and online ordering if you like.
