Oil seal on the end of your axle. Should be a cap you can pop off to gain access to the outer axle bearing. Those seals go bad and leak onto your wheel but also your brakes. I am assuming this is on a rim bolted to a solid axle.

Front side of rim, or back side? If on the front side I would agree with ^, if on the back side, its ur inner axle seal.
