Check the surface of the axle where the seal is located. Make sure it doesn't have any dings, burrs, etc. It should be a nice clean and smooth surface. Replace the seal while you're at it.

warped or bent axel housing will cause seals to leak try soaking new seals down with 90 weight oil before install and use 320 grit sand paper on axel lightly though to knock down rough spots or snags.
