grease around rear offside wheel - where from

[pjr7]

spent yesterday doing various jobs on our 1.6 k supersport (de dion) and noted grease by what i think is the de dion ear by the hub of the rear offside wheel - cleared it up but not sure where it has come from and why - any guidance appreciated- thanks,

ps see what everyone means about how difficult it is to get to the diff plug and gearbox plug- succeeded but glad to have been able to look at photos on alcester racing web site (thanks Alcester)

It can be thrown out of the bearings if the brakes have got hot, this would usually come out in a radial disc pattern if you see what I mean.

Check the driveshaft boots, if they are split then they can leak grease. If they are split, its a MOT failure, so it will need sorting.

Another one for drive shaft boots, either split or the clip will have gone. Needs sorting!
