Oil leak on rear wheel.

Knowledgable folk, where is this oil from do you think? What should I check for first?

from the drive member paper gaskets or from the big nut at the end, check axle breather is not blocked either.

Thanks HTB. It’s certainly emanating from the big nut. I can take it off, check the seal and re-tighten it, but should there be that much oil behind the nut in the first place? Monsieur Le Grenadier

Oil seal has gone in axle to give you that much oil, and as said above the paper drive member gasket also. Some people leave the oil seal leak as it lubes the bearings.
