maybe check the axle shaft for a wear line or burr where the oil seal rides. If there is any wear this could be your problem. If thats the case look into the possibility of an off-set oil seal. I know that you use to be able to get such a thing for the 22r's when they had a problem with the engin oil pump seal on the crank shaft. Its just a thought. Something else that may help is a real viscous and slippery assembly lube to protect the seal as the axle slides through. Ultra chem is a trade name that comes to mind. good luck I hate oil leaks they make a mess.
