Thanks! so it's not normal.. thought not. I replaced the seals down to stub axle, and i know the half shaft ones were in, there is just one problem... BLOODY BRITPART. I'll have em replaced with better ones soon.Mine did this shortly after overhauling the axles turned out that the new BP hub seals started to leak oil onto the rear disc's and the end caps, since replaced the seals with bearmach ones.
originally your wheel bearings would have ran on grease so would have grease hub seals but sometimes peeps replace the grease hub seals for oil hub seals and remove the halfshaft seals to allow the wheel bearings to run on oil so there is a chance your axles have been messed about with but hopefully new decent std hub seals should sort it but do inspect the stub axles to see if the half shaft seals are still in
Just a question, would this be ''RTC3511G - Hub Oil Seal - twin lip type''?
Depends on which axle you have. Older ones ( from Ninetys and One Tens ) had oil/lubed bearings, so oil flowed all the way through to the rubber hub caps you're referring to.
That's the ones! thanks.
Nah, there was no oil coming out of the flanges before, and the axle was overfilled. And there was one present when taking everything apart. I thought about that though, it could have been the case. Good suggestion.
