Problem
What model do you have?
Where exactly is the leak?
Is it definitely an axle problem or could it be wheel bearings or universals or diff?
Need more info ( not only on the car but about yourself.....Where in Poland etc. etc.)

Hi, I`m live in south part of Poland, in śląskie district. I`m new owner of this patrol, two mounts ago i have changed oil axle and right now I`ve seen this leak of oil. I have patrol GR `94 2,8 TDI . The leak is in small hole in wheel hub between screws for mounting wheel.

Sorry to have left you for so long but I haven't replaced rear wheel bearings which is probably your problem. Front wheels yes but the rear ones I think are pressed on and the press I don't have.
Have you made any progress ?
