Hi,

On the original question, whilst it is good to engineer a proper fix, running a lower oil level in the diff than originally specified (approx 1/2" to 3/4" has been quoted) can reduce the likelihood of contamination occurring.  (See 'Oil on Rear Brakes' Aug 2017.)

As a further precaution, whenever I take off the drum whilst checking the brakes, I remove even the tiniest smear that might have found its way through, before it can progress to the linings.  

Regards,
Colin
