I noticed today that the rear offside wheel hub was ' wet ' with oil and the actual wheel itself shows signs of oil spatter:

This pic shows the black ' lines ' which are oil spatter being thrown outwards

I picked up a haynes manual as well today, but with pics, it's probably best to ask on here for any tips/advice as to what could be causing this as it's not something i've found so far in the manual.

Cheers

change the cap and seal, see if that does it bud.

also check your axle breather to see if its blocked .

All of the above had the same last week, new cap and its sorted so did em all.

Cheers all, will give that a look over the weekend :tea:

:EDIT:

Between haynes & Buster's guide for CV joint renewal, i assume the seal is the one with the bronze bush that would need replacing?

Aye as said above about changin' the rubber cap and blow yer breather pipe through to make sure it's not blocked

Oh, and yer back axle is a wee bit different to the front....

Cheers Buster, I'm glad you pointed out i was looking at the wrong hub ( easy mistake right? ) as i would've been scratchin' my 'ead abit when it came to do the job.

Checked Paddocks for replacement seals ( trackarm ends as well as they need doing ) but they list a fair few for a 90, any ideas where to get the correct part number? Tried the link on here but the site is down

And just checked me parts catalogue to make sure... and they're from 1987 onwards. Although my parts thingy is fur the 110, the parts are the same. Just checked lrseries to verify...
