    My first guess is axle seal but I've never been in a 3/4 ton axle. It doesn't seem to be from the wheel cyl.

    I just did the axle seals in my 65 El Camino. My guess is this would be much different if so.

    Appear to be a leaking axle seal... Stick your finger in it and smell it. Gear lube has that "unique" smell.....
