Hi Guys,

I just did a 3500 km trip with a full load and pillion and saw some oil leaking from the drive shaft on the rear wheel about 300 km before we got home.
Was reading up on the possible causes, I thought it might be some seals ? bearings ? some guys even said something about transmission oil seeping through to shaft...not to sure.

Maybe you guys could give me some advice ? what could be the causes ? can I fix it ?
See the pics

Theses pics was before I washed the pig, will check now to see if the oil keeps on leaking after the wash and for the following week or so
