If the axle is worn at all it will continue to leak. Get axle saver seals. It is a bearing and seal all in one. It moves where the seal rides on the axle.

Any real parts store should have it, not Chain stores. Stores like Napa, Fisher, Olympic etc. We use a parts store called Delco Line. The have had them every time we needed them. They should be around $20
