Noticed today my rear axle on the passenger side is leaking gear oil from the inside of the wheel. The leak doesn't seem too bad, relatively slow. Is it a bad idea to drive on this at all or could I get by for a while so long as I keep the oil level up? Is there a seal to replace on this axle? I had the brakes replaced about 8 months ago. It is a 1989 one ton dually axle.
