Pop the wheels off and the drums will slide off the studs on that 10 bolt rear easily after a turn or two of the adjusters.
Then you can see if it's oil contamination or not. It will be obvious if there is contamination inside the drum. There should be nothing that looks like oil or dark brake dust. That's the great thing about drum brakes: the brake dust makes it easy to trace where oil contamination comes from.
The axle seals will start at the axle., the wheel cylinder.....well, you see where I'm going.
Until you pull 'em, you're just guessing at the problem.
You need to troubleshoot, not guess.
