Hi all. I have a chevy 10 bolt rear axle in my c10. I believe its a 8.5 as it has the 2 lugs at 5 and 7 o clock. I took my truck out yesterday and when i parked up i happen to notice there was oil sitting in the bottom of my rear wheel. They are 13 inchs wide so would catch it when dripping. My question is is it possible for the seal to go and oil to run down through my drum and into my wheel. It was to thick to be brake fluid. If so is it a easy repair? Many thanks
