hi to fellow tsikoters..

I noticed that the left side rear (inner) wheel have oil stain actually sa right side meron din pero mas slight. Is there something i could do, masama

ba ito or normal lang? I'm thinking baka oil seal sa differential pero yung right side ko pinalitan ko ito less than a year pa lang.

Malamang oil seal yan, di siguro maganda pag kakabit. or worn out na.

cannot open the link to your picture.
it may be brake fluid that is leaking.
better inspect your rear brakes.

try to touch the leak and smell it to know if it is an gear oil leak or a brake fluid leak.

kung gear oil leak malamang yung oil seal ng wheel bearing yun. ang kuha ko sa mga parts noon nung magparepaair ako ay ito.

oil seal php100/pc
wheel bearing php450/pc
axle lock php120/pc

nagka oil din yung sa akin noon kaya pinalitan ko na lahat para isang labor na lang.

there is nothing serious on those pictures. I don't think there is a leak. try cleaning it with detergent and water, then check it again after using your ride.

Namamawis ng langis. So long as its not dripping on the floor and the level in the pumpkin is not dropping (checked by inserting finger into fill hole), you'll be ok. It really happens as vehicles get older.

If you want to be O.C. about it, clean the area first and observe where the fluids emerge.

Sometimes it can come from another source (e.g. small leak on the piston of the drum brake) or where the hard brake lines enter into the drum brake (its on top, where the bleeder is located also).

Were the brakes bled some time in the past? It could just be brake fluid residue.

yes it was bled a month ago. Brake shoe replaced. hindi naman nagbabawas

ng brake fluid sa reservoir. worry ko baka worn out na oil seal or someting.

anyway i will try to clean the area. and check differential oil

thank you all.

it sounds your axle had already hairline crack. Your symptoms is the same as mine and later on the axle sheared problem and totally crack which can later cause unexpected accident.
