I noticed some oil on the rear jack and checked the source to be the Tag inner wheel seal. I pulled the 1/2 moon off the hub and the cap and noticed the oil to be low and hotter than the passenger tag. I am spending the night in Goleta near Santa Barbara waiting for a mobile tech to pull the wheel and check the bearing and brakes in the morning. my concern is "What caused the seal to fail and why is there more heat than the other side" the rim is 20 degree hotter and I wonder if the oil in the brake lining can account for this? I dont have any information on the tag. I will update after the Tech has a look. Greg 951-830-5997

Greg,
A possibility is the brake shoes were dragging on that wheel/drum causing excessive heat buildup.
