Some gear oil was leaking into my rear drum break. The rear end shop said that they were able to clean off the little bit of gear oil that got onto the brake pads. I have always heard that if you get gear oil on the pads that they are pretty much ruined. Should I get new brake pads? I didn’t see how much gear oil was in the pads.
