i found some oil leaked on the inside front rim. i first thought it was the rear seal, so i pulled the hub off and the seal looks fine and there is no oil on disk either. then i thought it could be brake fluid, but its not. could it be leaking from the balljoint/a-arm connection? im very puzzled on this one, any helps appreciated

 

CAN BE OIL/GREASE THAT YOU PICKED UP FROM THE GROUND SOMEWHERE.....OR MAYBE SOMEONE GOT A HOLD OF YOUR OIL CAN SQUIRTER AND HAD A MISFIRE......

 

nope, not that

 

chain lube got warm/hot and flew over to the front hub while you where fish tailing or doing donuts...

 

lmfao

 

You say rear seal, there are 2 on a 4x4. There's a inside seal on the hub, and another on the inside of the strut (near cv joint). In the process of changing this one out now. Was doing the same thing you are talking about. Making a mess on the bottom of the strut, then dripping from there on the inside of the front wheel.

 

perfect, thanks. just gotta tear into it more now
