Oil on rear brake caliper?
Changed my rears yesterday(31k miles).
The driver side was down to the indicator.
The passenger side still had some pad left but it had oil on it? I checked my rear diff. And it had plenty of oil.
Anyone else have this?

does sound like the diff breather spewed. was the oil on the pad stinky? is there oil anywhere else around the breather tube?

pull the rotor/emergency brake drum and check your e-brake shoes. If your axle seal is leaking it will show up on those shoes. If anything is leaking, seal or caliper, it will ruin your new pads almost immediately.
