Default 9 inch leaking

I bought a mwc 9 inch and it is leaking at the axle not the housing. I changed the vent so it is not a pressure issue and the seal does not look torn. So i was wondering if anyone has had this problem and how they fixed it. I don't think it is eric's fault i actually think it is strange's fault because it's their axles and seals.

its not always someones fault

id try just snatching the axle out and changing the seal and seeing if that takes care of it, might just be defective.

You need to pull the axle and take a look at it. My Moser axle had a nick in it right where the seal rides, the fix was a new axle.
