Title: Axle housing leak oil discharging device

Abstract: A device for use with a wheel axle shaft and housing for preventing oil that leaks from within the axle housing from escaping along the axle shaft to a brake device, comprises an oil passage along the axle shaft to discharge the leaked oil from the axle shaft, and an annular member securely mounted on the axle shaft and in the oil passage to splash the leaked oil guided thereon radially and outwardly by applying a centrifugal force to the oil, thereby effectively discharging the leaked oil from the axle shaft in order to prevent the leaked oil from travelling along the axle shaft to reach the brake device.
