My 1991 Toyota Hiace campervan is leaking oil at the rear end (not up the front under the engine). The axle that joins the rear wheels meets in the middle at a "hub" - not sure what it's proper name is. The oil is dripping from the hub. What is the name of that part of the van ? I realise I need a mechanic to take a look at it but wanted to be armed with a bit of info first ! I'm not meachanically minded so won't be attempting repairs myself.

Thanks
Kelly

This isn't an offshoot of the thread about Gay Grey Nomads is it?
