I recently had oil leaking from the rear hub of my 1993 90. It was from inside the brake drum, and also out of the end (dust cap) in the middle of the wheel.

On a rainy day I got soaked but changed the wheel bearings, seals etc.

Now I have just noticed that while I have no leak from inside the drum any more, it is still dripping from the dust cap on the end.

As far as I can see, there is no0thing to prevent oil seeping down the splines on the halfshaft and into that cap, am I right? Seems odd to me?

Help please!?!?!
 
Just in case anybody has the same problems as me here, I have got to the bottom of it.

The leaking oil is indeed seeping through the splines of the halshaft. It should be sealed in by the rubber dust cap.

The ones I bought from Paddocks (which I thought did not fit) do fit, but they are much harder than the originals, and I have had to heat them up to get them on. I think this is probably good news as I am hoping they will seal better as they are so tight.

Thanks guys.

They must of been ****part ones then ... Mine lasted 8 miles before they split open ,,, and that was heating them up in hot water !!! ( lucky I had my old ones in the back to slap on .
