[Mk2] [Turbo] leak around rear wheel/hub????

[mattymr2]

i noticed a build up of a grease like substance on the inside of a rear whell when removing it a few months ago. i thought it must be a leaking rear strut.on closer inspection it isnt the rear strut/damper. this is fine and in good condition.

the grease is all over the rear brake caliper and the axle or drive shaft boot(think this might be what its called?)





the pics arent brilliant but can anyone tell whats leaking?

thanks

best guess would be a split in the drive shaft gaitor which is full of grease (or not if it is split )
either that or you have a brake fluid leake

We just had this, all it needed was a new clip.
