So i had to pull right wheel to replace battery. When I did I noticed the large nut and inside of rim had oil. Brake drum and shoes are completely dry so I am assuming transaxle seals? Concur? I'll take pics tomorrow if needed.

Could be if it's a Swing axle?
Pics will help...
Yes I will tomorrow.

I would say your axle nut is loose. The torque on nut should be 260 ft. lbs. When torque in gone, transaxle oil seeps out past seals in brake drum. There is a factory weep hole in bearing cover that allows oil to drain out backing plate so brake shows don't get wet. "Keep-On-Triken" Dick
