Might have to have a look at the inner axle oil seal (in the diff housing itself) and the surface the seal runs on , on the axle itself.

Is there enough Molybdumumn (spelling) moly grease in the swivel housing? you can use a 1/2 inch drive extension and a 1/2 inch operend spanner to remove it from the top of the swivel housing and pump it in through there, it should be pretty packed in the hub when assembling.

hope this helps
