S3 SWB leaking front hubs

Hi there.

Has anybody out there suffered from persistant oil leaks from the front hubs on S3 models, did you cure it through the use of normal LR parts
or did you use extreme non approved methods.

Thanks for any info.

ffs clyde check yer breathers

breather check and replace seal

if it thebreathers, which ad bet paulb's head on, then once cleared that should stop the leak

Lots of peeps stick semi fluidic grease in there, I'm sure it works but if your seal wont keep oil in it prob wont keep water out either.

Did my seals all round then did them all again CAREFULLY!....feckin idiot....and all seems sound now.

Ha!!! I've rumbled Slob.....check this out

Quick bit of rifmatick..............er.............thats bout 14 an a arf posts every bleeding day.

How many landy owners have that sort of time on their oil smeared bloodied mitts?

Think we have a fraud in our midsts!!!!!!!

ffok me ave got two of the fookers which means i don't easily confuse hub seals with swivel seals

Wouldn't no a swivel seal if one jumped up and bit me...live miles from the coast I do

Cheers folks for the helpful info, will have to get me hands dirty again
& do the checks you suggest.
