    Swivel Hub Seal - l think?

    Hi all,
    In my Td5 Defender l have an oil leak from what l thin its the swivel hub seal. It is the part thathas the 4 bolts through it coming off the axel housing and just before the ball joint.
    My question - l need to purchse the parts for it's repair at the mechanics (l get Rover parts cheaper which he has no worries with) - is that what it is called? Is that all l need?

    Second - is it likely to cause detrimental oil loss in the diff itself? It is leaving a 50c coin oil patch overnight/2 days generally.

    We though by draining the oil from the hub itself and filling with greece might stop it leaking for a while - but it has continued to leak!


    Ta,

    I just call it the swivel ball seal.

    Sometimes this seal leaks because the swivel bearings are worn, preventing uniform contact between seal and swivel ball.
