Unhappy 1996 Disco leaking oil/fluid from hub

My 96 disco has started leaking a descent amount in the right front it looks like it's comming from the hub and gets worse when I park in our driveway overnight ( it's a steep driveway ) could the be a gasket? Since it's all wheel drive I don't want to burn up the front end

Read my reply on the other site.
I would spend more time under the truck looking for the leak then posting on every Rover Forum you can find.

It is NOT all wheel drive, it is full time four wheel drive, HUGE difference.

lol if I had a dollar for everytime spike had to correct somebody about rovers being full time 4wd I could buy me a ARB locker

blaze go to fap99.com and buy all the seals/gaskets you need..theres about 5 in there..look at the front rebuild kit but don't order the kit they rip you..just order the parts individually

if it's leaking from the hubs, you might as well replace all seals and gaskets when you tear into it..check the bearings if they're good you can keep using them

Here is where the leak is at. as you can see it is dripping down onto the tire. it doesnt leak "alot" but there is a 2x2 inch spot on the driveway in the mornings when i park it on the steep driveway.

it probably doesn't leak a lot because its almost empty...time for a rebuild..5 seals and gaskets will only cost you about $15
