Rear passenger wheel covered in gear oil. i can't find any broken hoses but it seems to be coming from behind the brake disk.

It sounded like something was grinding in the rear I pulled over and the passenger rear wheel was covered in oil. I got back in and drove about 1 mile home parked it. Now there's an oil puddle about 4" * 18".
