I've been having trouble with the rear brakes lately, and went to replace the shoes this morning and the right side drum was covered in grease...on both sides, the shoes were covered in melted grease too. The inside of the right wheel was caked with the stuff as well (it took 2.5 cans of engine degreaser, a drill with a wire brush attachment and a scrub brush to get it all loose...)all of the grease/oil is evenly distributed from the spinning wheel...and it was grease, not brake fluid.
Question is, where is it coming from?! there looks to be a sort of weap-hole on the drum that runs through the hub, and there was a lot of evidence of fluid leakage there too...any ideas? Is this normal? (how could it be?)
