Just arrived Orange Beach Al
When I arrived I noticed oli leaking from pass side hub cap up on investigation I noticed excessive heat on the hub cap and wheel. The hub cap oiler got so hot it leaks and will have to be replaced. I have located new oiler seal hub cap but am having no luck finding a source for service. Th brake has to be dragging causing this heat buildup. Any suggestions on a brake drag fix (release or back off)I can do to get back home for perminant repairs. They are disc brakes.
Thanks
Greg
Hi Greg.
It's probably the wheel bearing. More than likely you would have felt a brake dragging.
