    Oil leak inside front disk

    I thought I had a swivel joint seal leak but after closer look the oil is coming over the inside of the disk. Is there a seal at the back of the disk that would cause that?

    Only two items it could be(that I can think of) are the stub axle seal, or bearing seal.

    Hub seal. Jack up wheel see of bearings are not loose. Wobble wheel by holding 12 and 6. If tightened wheel bearing where wheel bearly moves and still moving you need to replace swivel bearings top and bottom...if your working on the front wheel. Tighten wheel bearings if applicable. Before dismantling might be worth buying speedy sleeve or stub shaft if daily driver. I like speedy sleeves as youll get closer tolerences. No point putting new hub seal without having good lands on stub axle. Itll leak in no time. Also might be worth using double lipped seal rtc3511.
    Check your breather isnt blocked either.
