Leaking Deuce

[anthony3478]

ok guys I have a gear oil leak that is running between the inner and outer wheels on the center axle, left side, where, and what is leaking before I tear into it?Noticed it yesterday while bleeding my air tanks down, the tire was wet in spots and it looked like it slung it on the tire while rolling.

sounds like a leaking wheel cylinder.... at least it will be a nice weekend for a repair

If it's gear oil its going to be wheel seals. Study the -20 manual and do some searching on here. There are 3 parts, inner seal, outer seal and keyway seal. If you didn't already know, the bearings are packed in grease, not flooded in gear oil. Most certainly the outter seal or keyway seal has failed and flooded the bearings

Definately a seal. Wheel cylinders don't use grease. Seals are cheap too. Every time I pull apart a wheel it gets new seals (3) and a wheel cylinder since I am in there and don't want to have go back.
