Default Axle leaking ....

Went Wheeling Friday night and then went out of town untill today. Came back to find a partial flat due to a ripped valve stem and my axle leaking? I just glanced and will take a closer look tomorrow as I am too tired. Any thoughts off a possibilty for the axle. I guess it could just be the plastic seal? It leaked a tiny bit before but seems to be a bigger puddle after this last midnight wheeling adventure. (was a terrbile idea)

Yeah that's just the axle seal
There not to hard to replace
Did you go through any water?
if so, you should go ahead and
change the gear oil in the axle.

Thanks, yes I unfortunatly High centered the axle and was sitting in wheel covering water for over an hour. I will look into replacing the seal and fluid asap.

Anyone know if that's a 30mm or a 36mm socket for the axle?
