Leaky rear hub

While changing the N/S Rear Caliper and pads everything was going fine got to the other side to swap the pads out and found the Caliper carrier was covered in dirty oil. Stripped out the carrier and Disc to find the oil is coming from the wheel side of the hub.

Is this just an oil seal that can be replaced or is it going to be of a problem to sort? There's no movement in the Bearing and everything is tight. If this is a easy fix I'll try and get the parts to day and fix it tonight.

I heading up to Inverness next Monday so want to get it sorted before then so not to end up with a Bearing/Hub to change.

Use a double lipped seal part no RTC3511.This is the seal used when running oil fed wheel bearings.

is the right seal to use for 300tdis or defenders but dosent fit disco 2 ,there is an oring where hub assembly bolts to axle case could be siliconed up when assembly removed/replaced

It's not leaking from where the hub bolts to the axel, it's leaking where the shaft comes out the hub and the Brake Disc and wheel bolt on to.

Is there and oil seal in there that can be replaced?

there is but doesnt come as a part but part of hub ,i looked at replacing bearings but wasnt possible but cant remember if seal was replaceable if could be sourced
