an incline clean it up and keep an eye on it usually worse on inside

The rear hubs have an O-ring seal between the hub assembly and the axel tube. There's oil inside the diff tube, not grease. If it's leaking, oil would come out, not grease.

What does inside the wheel rim look like? That's where you'd get the most oil.

Have you checked your rear diff oil level? Has it dropped? This would also indicate where it's leaking from...

Grease inside the hub gets pushed out. JC says 99 times out of 100 it's not the O ring seal, it's the inner seal in the hub. Haven't checked the diff oil yet, but NFI what it was like anyway inside the wheel rim looks pretty clean

Sniff it .....bloody dog?

Couldn't smell anything, I've hit the entire area with degreaser and will keep an eye on it.
Couldn't work out why the lady with the dog kept looking at my car....maybe now I know.
I wish I could say it's the first time I've had my car peed on!

Bet she has a toyboata and has trained to dog to make
it look like LR's leak

Sneaky lots them toyboata owners

If it doesn't taste like EP90, it's a Dog.
