Athena Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Hi All I have oil weeping from the wheel hubs on the outside, i have checked my Haynes manual and oily leaks on the wheels are generally on the inside, brake pipe, swivel joints etc See pictures Any ideas team? what needs replacing? And also when a petrol tank leaks can they be repaired? And if you want to off round experience drive the road of the Sheffield, the pot holes and cracks are great!!

western Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 oil on outside of the wheel normally comes from a dislodged hub centre cap [the black plastic bit] or it's got a split or hole in it, other place to look is the hub driving member bolts, make sure they are tight & the gasket between the driving member & hub is intact [no damage] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 This should help - it may not be the cap, but the member gasket. http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=33908 Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
errol209 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 ... when a petrol tank leaks can they be repaired? Up to a point. However the palaver of getting all the vapour out prior to welding up bigger (e.g. bigger than tiny) holes isn't worth it: buy a new tank and treat it inside and out before fitting it. The leak fixing stuff isn't far off the cost of a new tank anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
