I changed my differential a while back and I noticed I have a right rear wheel leak from the hub. I put on new gaskets when I did the pumpkin swap and hub bolts are tight. Someone said something about a bearing leaking. Could someone advise first things to check. Thank you.

Did you also change the axle bearing seals? These will leak when they're old and worn.
