Good Afternoon all,
So there I was cleaning all the gunk off the drum and springs and it hit me, is the fluid I am cleaning off brake fluid (Silicone) or is it diff oil? It’s rained a bunch here so I can’t smell anything on the ground. Externally, the signs would be the same right: Fluid trail down tire, gunk all inside of drum and all over shoes. I didn’t get that sulphur smell but I may have put synthetic oil in the diff a decade ago or so when I cleaned things up. I do not recall changing the seals .
Last data point, the car has been sitting for about 2 years while I try to make it “better”.
All thoughts and input accepted.
Lester
