Rear Breaks question help.

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 dealer. I still have a little factor warranty left maybe this would be covered?

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

Thanks in advance!!

Sounds like it could be a leaking axle seal. Does it smell like gear oil? Gear oil has a distinctive strong smell, especially if it gets hot/burned.

Yeah that's most likely what it is, just don't like leaving the truck at the dealer. It's not something I have the tools for.

Thanks!
