I regret hammering my 90 on the off road course at Newark.... today I noticed spots of thick 'grey oil' on the path coming from the inside of the drivers side wheel. I am losing somthing from the nearside as well.
Seems I have broken some sort of seal but not sure what. Any ideas? and what to do next would be really helpful.
I am just off out and wont be back till late tonight (not in the Landy) so I will reply later.
Thank you for looking... I can take the stick I deserve so feel free. :doh:

yup swivel seals seem busted....no offence mate...your wheels look like the road types and not the all terrain or mud types...?
cheers
 
What they said. Did one of mine this week. Only realised it was leaking when braking found I nearly hit the pavement as right disc covered in grease!
 
Thanks to everyone.... Other than body cappings I am only competent at changing shocks/dampers. Hope to do discs and brakes soon.... So I guess I will heve to get the seals replaced at a garage.. but I am learning and once you have done it once... its easy. Thanks again for the diagnosis.... :)

The tyres are General Grabber TR and cost me £334 for 5 of them in April... good alround in snow, mud but geared towards general use.
I got a slow puncture after Newark on really close exanination found 3 pea sized pebbles wedged next to each other deep between the inside tyre and the rim causing it to break the seal and deflate slow. So they took some bouncing about and performed very well for an all round tyre.
These are my summer tyres :).... well... my only ones at the moment!
