I wiped it off and it didn't reappear until another 300 kms or so.
I pulled the wheel off but couldn't locate the leak point. Brake fluid remains at capacity.
So what have I got? A busted seal I suspect but which one and is it something I could have a crack at repairing myself?

If you have even a small amount of mechanical knowledge you can fix this yourself Dave. Firstly find out where it is coming from - I would think the hub seal. The oil will be on the inside of the rotor if it is. Get a new one and if you don't know how to fit it get back on here and we can help you.
