I bought a 1985 toyota pickup 4x4 sr5 xcab and so far i've been doing some work to it these past couple of days. I was looking at the front disc brakes, the inner wheels and the knuckle joints....and it is filthy. The rear of the knuckles are covered in wet, black goop. obviously this leak is coming from the knuckle but where, and why? most likely a crap gasket but since i've never done work to knuckles or toyotas for that matter, i'm a little on the beginning side when it comes to their suspension. The right front drips slightly (covered in goop) the left front doesnt really drip but is still nonetheless covered in black goop. You can even see it staining the inside of the tire. Whats wrong with it, and what should i do?
