Patrick,

There is an outside possibility that the pressure relief valve on the axle
is clogged. Pressure build-up could cause the seal(s) to leak.

When cleaning the relief valve, remove it and bench check it. Try breathing
thru the valve, it should let you exhale but not inhale. It only takes about
1/2 psi to blow it open.
Some manuals suggest that tapping on the cap of the valve will clear it, but
I have found that not to be enough.

If that's not it, then you will have to take the whole thing apart again,
I'm afraid.

I too have a leaky seal, it's the right rear rear hub. I know I need a new
seal. Just havn't gotten to it yet.

Good luck,
Bjorn
