Hello all, I just purchased a 01 4700 and the drivers side front wheel I have a leak of some sort. The whole inside of the rim is covered in oil of some sort and it’s leaking and leaving a puddle right below the caliper? Not sure about the terminology. Just looking to see if someone could help point me in the right direction to track down the leak.
Thanks

Sounds like a blown wheel seal.

Nope. Wheel seal is on the inside. Hubcap is on the outside.

I always like to take a leak next to a buddies rig then tell them it looks like they have a fluid leak.
Stand back and watch them rub the mystery fluid between two fingers and smell it in an attempt to identify it.
Not sure if that helps but thought I'd share...
Almost certainly a wheel seal like he said. Cheap and easy fix. Good time to inspect brakes and wheel bearings.God prefers Diesels and Crude Truckin' Thank this. -

Don’t drive it too far - at all.
Top it up through the little cap, and get her fixed quickly.
Likely your shoes will be soaked - replace them.
How many miles on this leak?God prefers Diesels Thanks this. -
