Shebang! John Nasta nailed it! It is gear lube. So I topped it off with my favorite Valvoline 90 wt and took it for a ride. Now I notice the outer axle bearings making funny noises too. Gonna do bearings and seals. Great advice from this list! Even on getting brake cylinders. I like this list, Chuck According to John Nasta: > Brad is right. You can usually get wheel cylinders at any NAPA store. Also, > make sure it's not gear oil leaking out due to a bad wheel bearing/seal. You > can pop the seal out and if it looks out of round at all in the inner > diameter, you can be sure the bearing is bad too. Buy some brake cleaner to > clean the gooped up parts, and if the brake pads are badly soaked, you're > best off to replace them too. Wheel cylinders and wheel bearings are both > pretty easy to do, but even easier if done at the same time, because both > jobs require dismantling all the brake hardware. Neither is a particularly > expensive job either.
