I did the seals on my D1 and it wasn't too bad..I'm trying to think which seal you're talking about on a DII..it's a unit bearing..do you mean the big O-ring in there?

Ain't got a clue. Just noticed a lot of oil on that wheel on the outside.

Cause you can't and there are no parts available.
What exactly is leaking and from where? What color is the grease and is the hub warn/loose?
