So my 1984 series 3 (which sat in a barn for 13 years) has leaks coming from the inside of both front hubs. Seems worse when its a full lock. Any ideas what needs replacing?

Most likely swivel balls, big seals may be perished, but also likely the balls have gone rusty, or are scored. Replace if visual inspection shows damage on the balls. If not, change the seals.

Can you post any pics of the area where the oil is coming from?
 
Looks like a **** job, may get my mechanic on it
You can do that job yourself if you've got axle stands and the tools including a torque wrench. Do you have a workshop manual? Haynes manual not detailed enough. If you're going to a garage make sure they are familiar with series landys.
 
An easy job and if you are running a Land Rover you really do need to up your spannering skills, let us know your location there may be someone local to help/advise.
Always lots of little jobs to do and you will soon tire of finding money to pay for them to be done. There is as much fun in fixing them as driving the things.

ANy idea where I could get oem seals?

Yep. The bay of fleas - item # 322000893940 - £5.43 each...;)

And its worth doing the job yourself too - you will learn a lot - it is a messy job ( wear gloves!! ). :)

Post some piccies up - we should be able to see what's goin on !
