A 3/4 weeks ago i topped up the swivels as low . I have the 3 port fill/drain/level type swivels so easy to check . , Although the grease is mixing with diff oil as diff oil has that grey tint . Now maybe its because i don't use full steering lock often ? but i had of late , The other day i noticed blobs of swivel grease/oil on the inside of the wheel as i parked with o/s wheel on full lock and so i could see , i had not looked before then .
So guessed the hub seal had gone , anyway i cleaned it all off on the inner wheel and the " Inner face of the Disc " Blew out breather , although breather seemed clear . Just Been out and about so checked and nothing on the wheel as before.
Now was this due to an over-fill in the first place and forced past the hub seal .
Or because it was a bit over full and when i used full lock forced it out .
There is nothing around the big swivel ball seal ! .
Would it not still leak out something even if diff oil , if the seal failed even if all the swivel grease had gone . ,
Can anyone please shine some light on this , i don't want to knacker a CV joint or worse .
