Oil bath hub ?'s

[solaidrider667]

Hey everyone!! Hope you summer is starting off great.

I have oil bath hubs and have noticed what seams to be alot of oil slung onto the rim. Soooo, tonight I removed the tire and pulled the fill hole plug and it seems to be still half full of clean oil. Note--the transparent hub cap is not so transparent I am hard pressed to see the oil level at any of the 4 hubs even using a flashlight.
I cleaned the hub with a little brake clean reinstalled the wheel and will keep an eye out for a continued leak.
Looks like I need to consider new seals etc in the future.

Any similar troubles with your trailers?

Cheers and have a great watersports season.

Before you go and change all the seals in your hub. Make sure its not the fill plug that is leaking. I had the same problem and the guy at Extreme Trailer told me to red loctite that plug and its been fine.
