Guys, I have been for a run in my 90 today when I got home the rear wheel and tyre was covered in oil and the black plastic/rubber cover from the centre was missing what does this mean??

Its a hub cap, and it prevents oil from splattering out all over the place. It's nothing to worry about. Just buy a new hub cap from paddocks - FTC5414 Hub cap - rear axle from LA930456 , check it's the right one, soak it in a bowl of boiling water for 30 seconds and then push it back on. Job done! The amount of oil you'll have lost out of the hub will be minimal, but it's worth just topping it up a touch.

The centre cap is the only thing that keeps the diff oil in the axle if it's come off then you'll need to buy a replacement.
 
Dude, Thanks I was worried about something happening on the way to work tomorrow. Worried that the axle was going to fall off or stop turning.
