Not sure what your after. But if the seal is leaking it will need to be replaced. Aside form making a mess at the axle and brakes, It can and will run your differental low on lube and the results will be catastrophic. This type of repair, while time consuming, can be done with hand tools and a little mechanical know how.

Same problem with 2005 gc. The bearing and seal are different from normal. Professional replaced same axle 3 x. Might be wrong type of O'ring or aftermarket replacement etc. So answer was non-responsive to a specific make and model.
