RE: [TR] Axle oil seal - good progress - more questions

It occurs to me that part of it was incorrect.  There should not be oil
against the joint formed by the bearing housing, backing plate and axle (the
one held together by the 6 bolts).  That cavity should only have grease in it
(from the zerk that lubes the wheel bearing).  So, if what was leaking was
definitely gear oil (as opposed to oil that separated from the grease), the
inner seal is still likely bad.
