Need help on rear breaks.

The issue is on my 05 F250 PSD, the driver rear break seems to be coated in oil, really the entire inner of the wheel is coated. I am not leaking break fluid so I am thinking it's the axle that is bad, maybe a seal but my knowledge in that area is limited. I looking for suggestions on what to look for before I take in to the dealer, also what to tell the delaer. I still have a little factor warntee left maybe this would be covered?

Also after a driving there is a smell of burning oil comming from that wheel..

Thanks in advance!!

This thread would be best suited in the SuperDuty forum and not the 6.0L. Hopefully a moderator can move this one so that you can get a reply from someone that may have had this issue before.

But to answer you question...that sounds allot like seal is cracked/worn on the end of the axle tube. The smell of burnt oil is the gear lube that's in the rear-end. I'd get that taken care of soon before the rear end runs out of oil and causes even more problems.
