But like you said grease has a distinct smell.

There looks to be brake shoe fibers mixed in with the fluid making a type of gunk. I was thinking friction and wear was creating what looks grease globs. What gets me is, if it is gear oil, wouldn't it be leaking out the bottom of the dust seal, down the backing part and onto the drum? Only the top of the seal has build up of fibers and some oil so I was thinking whatever it is, is coming from the top down.
When my axle was leaking back in 2019 I could basically smell it before I even took the drum off. I had my nose right up to it and could barely smell it.
