These are oil-bath hubs. Shouldn’t have to service them.my guess is you have worn bearings that heated up and pushed grease out of your bearing buddy's. bearing buddy's are great but depending on miles hubs should be removed every couple of years and cleaned, inspected and repacked
Is there any oil on the backside of the hub? I have seen those caps like the one you are pointing at come loose and leak, or fall off altogether. You may just have to remove the cap and apply a sealant to it and refill with oil.
It just fell out, I'm planning on doing just this, and hoping there was do damage done to bearings. That cap just taps in.
deep well socket works. I found this out on the side of the road.
Loctite makes some epoxies that will hold that puppy in place for ya!
