My axles are coming off of a fresh rebuild (less than 1000 miles). Marlin inner axle seals and longfield "Lifetime" wiper seals were used. I noticed this fluid dripping off of the bottom of my knuckle the other day and went for a closer inspection (first picture). There was fluid on all of the bottom studs, but I wiped some of it off to see what it was. Everything above the knuckle is dry including the brake line and calipers (second picture). Could it be that the bolts holding the wiper seal need more torque? Even then why would I have clean gear oil coming out of my knuckle? Any thoughts?

It looks like some gear oil got past you inner axle seal bud, that or it didn't properly seal on installation Thats generally where you'll see oil on them when the inner seals are worn and the oil leaks down around the birf.

I didn't want to say it bud , have you driven it alot since SCC? Could have just splashed a little down the tube when wheeling and won't need to tear into it. When you back off the fill plug on the knuckle see if it looks soupy in there. If NO the oil may work its way out and then just top it off with grease. I know its wishful thinking. Its not that its a bad job to tear it down its just that its so damn messy is my gripe

 

[Darasick]

I've only driven it a hand full of times since SCC and there are drip marks on the tire from where it has sat, so I'm afraid I'm hosed. Looks like I'll be going back to OEM inner axle seals. I'm surprised the gear oil is that clean after making it pass the seal and meeting up with the birf grease.

What else will I need besides the inner axle seals?

Paul it looks like I will need to get that hub nut socket from you.
