Yesterday when installing new wheels, I noticed the RR tire was all greasy on the inside - having drips of some oily fluid all around. There is something leaking from the bottom of the brake drum.

Now, I'm wondering... is it brake fluid, or a differential leak going all the way through the axle?



To make matters worse, the brake line on the other side burst. Well, that's clearly brake fluid - it's spraying it like a fountain. But what's this on the passenger side?


Either way, more expenses...

 

axle tube seal or brake fluid, is it thick and gooey or real wet? if it's thick it's probably axle seal which isn't hard, just takes a couple hours.
