Dumb question I know but in my case I have no idea lol. where does the seal actually sit? How long would it take to replace? what does a seal cost?
There is a very small amount dripping from the brake drum onto the inner rim,only when parked in the right position.It is diff oil.
Any imfo would be great thanks.

Yes it would be diff oil. A new axle seal costs around the $20-$30 mark depending on where you buy it from, the time it takes to replace it depends on your mechanical aptitude.

They are a very fragile seal, if they don't put the axle in carefully enough (without it dragging on the seal) you can damage it.
