94 Disco rear tire covered in oil what do I need to replace??

[DISCO GUY]

I have a 94 disco that just started leaking diff oil out of the rear wheel. I have checked the breather line and it's clear so im assuming it's a seal but not sure where it's located. Any info would be great! Also anyone know of any cheap part websites?? Sincerely, DISCO GUY

broken flange bolts

inside or outside of tire?

Rear shock?

Sounds like a rear hub seal. Just fixed one on mine. Not hard at all. 2 seals, 2 wheel bearings while you're in there, some grease and a lot of hand cleaner.

do you mean the spare tire? If so, it's probably the transfer box...oil wicks along the underside and gets sucked back onto the cover

Could occur in two's. I had water get into my diff, which killed the grease at the seals, and blew out the hubs. Check diff fluid for water and replace. Replace hub seals and you may want to consider the other side as well.

Could be anything quite honestly, diff, TC, engine trans.... Go underneath and look.

i thought maybe brake cylinder, but that should be real noticeable in the pedal or losing brake fluid

Same thing happen to me turned out it was the Bilstein shock started to leak

I had fluid on the inside of my pass. rear tire. It was coming from a brand new(rebuilt) brake caliper that was leaking. There was no noticable effect on the brake pedal though. May want to rule that out.
