thought this looked odd, probably a seal of some sort. It is only on the outer edge (shown in the pictures) not on the inside of the wheel. Does anyone know which seal this is, how easy it is to fix plus any tips? Thanks. As you can see the oil has been sprayed by the spinning of the wheel.

axle breather blocked ?frc4377 hub cap ,might be poor if its replace it ,if its from drive member it can be removed cleaned and resealed with silicone sealant
 
Can only bock the breather by driving deep water right? Havent done any of that, and I believe I have raised breathers. So what could it be? I dont really know much about this side of things :) . Would a damaged hub cap really cause this? ;o
 
breathers block for many reasons not just wading ,its very common .pressue builds and oil is forced out easiest place ,try a new cap
 
I had the paper gasket behind the drive member leak on mine, if it is that you should be able to see where the oil is seeping out, new gasket for pennies and it's all good.

If it's just on front face of wheel and not coming from brake drum it indeed shouldn't be hub seal, most likely cap or gasket - both very cheap and easy to change.

Though do check axle breather like James said, notorious for causing axle leaks.
 
New wheel bearing kit with everything you need is only about £30 a corner (oe). Don't bother with the cheap ones- you'll be doing it again in 3 months!
But def check breather like people are saying.
 
Ive just had a closer look, seems the oil is seeping from under the hub cap, not rom behind the nuts where the hub gasket is. Maybe it is just the cap and not the gasket. Hope it is not the breather as that'll be a right pain in the arse to sort I think >.<
