I've recently changed my rear wheel bearing and seal and noticed a leak similar to your pictures (on the back obviously and not quite as excessive) my guess would be I fitted the seal poorly, I've got a seal and will attack it soon, so il let you know if it cures the issue, but I think it will.

He is ex REME but gave him your guide to follow Martin and the other three kingpins he did are fine!

Thanks your help on the phone earlier- my local suzuki had one for £4.50 so over double the price of yours but had to get it so I can have it fixed tomo!
