    If it bothers you ( i think it does) it can be replaced but i don't think it does. Doesn't appear to be leaking oil. Speaking of oil, mayby clean around the rubber plug and make sure there is oil in side. Check on the site glass for proper level. If your not sure how to do it..don't. Have someone with experience show you.

    Literally a less than 5 minute job to change that. Fill hub back up with oil, let sit a few minutes, top off, repeat until full. Roll around the parking lot, let it settle and make sure its full. Then hit the highway. Check the level again at the next stop.
