Leyland Daf FA45 130 1996 - Rear Wheel Hub?

I have noticed that there is oil/grease residue on the rear hub which appears to have been emitted from small holes at the rear of the hub. Is this a sign of a failed oil seal or anything else to be concerned with? Also have a spearate issue with a red light on the right hand side of the dash which has illuminated a couple of times when braking?

Thanks Norb, can't remember the symbol as I noticed as I almost got back the horsebox back to the yard on Sunday - might be the handbrake symbol. Can you let me know what the hub problem is please?
