I have a oil leak that makes a puddle on the Alcoa wheel . This is on the passenger side tag axle. Don't know where it's coming from or how far I should drive before fixing.

The first thing that comes to mind is hub oil. You should be able to easily remove the hub cap to view the Stemco oil hub - the one with the red rubber plug in the middle. There are "Full" and "Add" rings in the plastic face plate.

If you need to add oil, use Lucas Hub Oil. I changed the hub oil using the NLGI recommended grade called out in the owner's manual and my front hubs leaked. Replaced that oil with the Lucas Hub Oil and the leaks stopped.

If it's on passenger side it could be the sync cylinder that's the location on my 07 Intrigue. Country Coach had a big problem with the hydronic lines in that location Darrell

So, what color is leaking fluid? Should be easy to distinguish hydraulic fluid from oil.
