MY LANDY

G'day, g'day all! Tried searching through existing threads for any relevant insights on this issue, but couldn't locate anything. Please point me in the right direction if I have missed something (still getting a handle on the site search functionality).
Recently returned from a trip around Tassie (highly recommended) and had tyres rotated and balanced. Since doing so I have noticed oil spilling on rear driver's side rim (and spraying over tyre, up into wheel arch, onto mudflap and suspension etc as the tyre as been turning over at speed).
Prior to the trip I had to replace rear brake pads and discs, at which time I understand the bearings are supposed to be greased and repacked (had the team at Graeme Cooper carry out this work, been having the Defender serviced there for a few years now). I did note a little oil at this time but dismissed as being surplus from recent work. Wiped off, monitored and didn't notice any further leaks. Only now I have rotated the wheels, it's back and quite a bit worse than last time.
See attached images.
Welcome all thoughts on this... Thank you.
