    Is it brake fluid? Looks like it could be oil to me.
    Check the drive flange. Take off the wheel for a more detailed inspection.

    I would have thought brake fluid with dust also.

    If anything the hub type on the D2 would have grease in them rather than oil wouldn't they.

    You'll have to pull the wheel off to work it out.
    Cheers

    d2 fronts are sealed units so prepacked , rears have a seal and when that fails it is time to replace the hub assembly as you can't replace the seal

    I've not often seen brake fluid leaking out of the mag wheel plastic centre cap.

    You really need to have a look with the wheel off.

    Removed the wheel and found the hub nut is loose. I can even undo it without tool. Fluid came from it. Is that a diff oil? Tighten the hub nut will fix the problem or somethins else need to check?
