I bought a really nicely restored 1964 IIA last year and am getting around to addressing oil leaks, or at least finding where to fill the various reservoirs so they don't run dry. One think I haven't figured out yet, is the leaks on the hubs. I have a minor drip on the inside of the wheel hubs that sprays outward when I drive the truck, mainly up front near the ball joints but I think rear, too. Not a lot of oil, but enough. Question is, how do you keep those hubs filled, where do you add fluid, and what kind? EP90 like the others? First post! I appreciate it!

 

Mine had a plug at each wheel (Allen headed screw). I just turned the wheel to the point where the plug was just below the position where oil would leak out the hub if it was filled any fuller. I used gear oil. I also don’t think there’s anything wrong with removing the bearings and packing them with a good wheel bearing grease like most other vehicles. This would stop any leaks.
