Chaz 58 'Bolter C Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 307 Cartersville Georgia	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. 1958 Chevy Grumman Olson step van
