Leaking oil from my wheel hubs.

Can anyone please explain as to what actions I need to take, to stop oil coming out of my hubs and going all over my wheels, is it a matter of getting some new seals, and then draining my axles, then putting on the new seals and topping up the oil etc...? Sorry if I'm sounding thick, however I'm toally new to this, and if anyone could please advise me upon which is th best oil and how much I'll need for a series2a lightweight...that would be great..

Bet your hub seal has gone and your axle breather is blocked.

Hub seals cost 50p and can be fitted in under a hour (If you know what you are doing)
Easy job

Axel breather unscrew and clean crud off then blow through.
5 mins each

Ps
EP90 and you dont need to drain it if you are only changing the hub seals

pps
EP90 GL4 (Not GL5)
