Hey folks, I cleaned my rear axle breather and its hubs stopped weeping. My mechanic says the hub seals must be blown for it to have been weeping out of the axle in the first place and they should be changed out. However, it seems fixing the breather fixed the weeping. Time will tell. Any thoughts?
Then I met a fella who'd attached some bolt on after market steel caps in place of the plastic caps. He says it prevents moisture from creeping into the axles, diluting the oil and allowing the gears to wear prematurely. Is this legit/necessary?
