Hi there.

Has anybody out there suffered from persistant oil leaks from the front hubs on S3 models, did you cure it through the use of normal LR parts
or did you use extreme non approved methods.

Thanks for any info.

Lots of peeps stick semi fluidic grease in there, I'm sure it works but if your seal wont keep oil in it prob wont keep water out either.

Did my seals all round then did them all again CAREFULLY!....feckin idiot....and all seems sound now.
