Bobi and Dick McKee Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 My front wheels have very fine streaks of oil on our 2015 Sportchassis. I regularly check the hub oil level and it is full virtually to the orange mark made at the factory, and just a fraction below the full mark on the window. There is a fine oil residue on the inside of the hub cap. My question is is this normal or is there something else I should check. Thanks in advance, Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Seal is leaking. I had a hub doing the same thing. Had it replaced and no more streaking.

Bob A Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 If oil is on outside its more likely the gasket on cap or fill plug, 2014 jayco siesmic 3914 1998 volvo 610, singled short ( bought in 2005) 14 speed volvo tranny 2014 Toyota yaris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobi and Dick McKee Posted August 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 it is definitely on the outside of the hub. I wiped down the entire area and will check the plug in the end and the cap on what I assume is the fill port. thanks Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the screws on older trucks holding the hubcap on so loose I wondered how it held oil. To Bobi and Dick; replacement gaskets and hubcaps come with either 5 or 6 screw holes.
