The Stemco hub is pretty common--most TA truck centers have the red plug and 6-bolt cover gasket in stock. Lots of heat build in this area--the red plugs lose their shape over time and begin to leak a bit--cheap fix to replace them.....
PS--our Alpine hubs have a large hollow inside and contain a significant amount of oil--accordingly, oil level is not that critical, so dont overfill. However, bearing pre-load is important, so recommend checking the pre-load every 50k miles, or so.....
