Found some gear oil on inside of back tire

[EMD_DRIVER]

I thought a wheel cylinder had gone on me, but found out different when I pulled the brake drum. The parking brake lever was touching the hub/seal, where the groove is now. I'm wondering if it didn't make the groove. I pulled the axle shaft and hub, but the seal remained on the rear of the spindle. I have never taken one of these apart before and want to see if this looks right, or not. Here are a few pics...

This is the seal, oil side up:

Do I need a new hub, or maybe just a new seal?

it appears that you need a hub.looks like the park brake arm cut off the portion the seal sits in.you didnt hear that making any noise?

I never heard a thing! I just found gear oil on the driveway, a couple days ago. I first thought it was a leaking wheel cylinder..

Yep... It sounds like the IPR in this one is on the outs.. I got a new seal kit and plan to try cleaning it myself..

90w will quiet things right down--

it was weird, it was sticking open and not allowing enough oil pressure to start. only when cold... it would start on ether and as soon as the oil warmed up, i could start it up all day long. we put a scanner on it when we got home which confirmed it.

Mine's giving me a fit at almost every startup. The engine lopes pretty bad and then clears up a bit. Then it's on, to the rough idle.....

takes a bit to wear through the hub enough to leak oil.
