During a track day on Monday I noticed fluid on the inside of the rear wheel.

Seems some fluid had blown out of the rear hub apparantly past the seal.

It was a little thick over about 1/3 the diameter of the wheel

I wiped it all off and did not notice a reoccurance Mon or Tues.

Has anyone else seen this?

 
Yup. Streaks running parallel to the axle plane on the rim? Excess being discharged. No worries.

it was thick black completely covering 1/3 of the wheel so I was pretty worried at the time :blink:

I felt better when it didn't reappear.

Any ideas how I can keep the excess to a minimum?
