Yesterday, I noticed the left rear rim of my 8N was stained with oil in a pattern which indicated (to me) that differential oil was leaking out of the hub area and has been for some time. I have enclosed two photos. One of the leak evidence and a second of the "hub". What is the source of this problem. Is it an axle shaft seal going bad? Is there more than one seal in the axle shaft/hub assembly?
