I just had both rear axle seals replaces back in december of 2015.
The right rear one was leaking oil all over the brakes.
I checked the back brakes because I had to pump the pedal to get the truck to stop.
Well, that seal is leaking again all over the brakes. And the cover is leaking a bit now too (they used RTV instead of a real gasket).
What is causing the problem?
Worn bearing?
How can I tell if the axle is bad? You could see wear marks on it when they had it out but it didn't look too bad to me.
I get a growling noise when slowing down too so I replace all front wheel bearings and races. Steering feels better/smoother but growling noise is still there.
Axle code is 87.
