Axle oil has been leaking despite replacing the axle seal.
During the last club run, the wheel bearing started making a nasty clicky noise. I've known the bearing was bad, so it was time to replace it.
I have a trail spare that has the bearing and newer style removable backing plate. This allows the axle to be removed without having to remove the backing plate (and open up the brake circuit)
So I zipped off the old bearing, and modified the old brake backing plate so the axle bearing would slide past it with having to remove it.
I'll rebuild the other axle.
Now I can replace the axle on trail in 20 minutes if needed :)
