Hi there,

Is this leak from the seal lip or the seal in the housing, if from the seal lip check where the seal runs and make sure that there is no grove worn the original seal, make sure the seal feels firm on the shaft, check that the locating "C"clip is still on the end of the shaft and the shaft locks in when installed , check this next.

Check for a grove where the seal lip is running and are you using a genuine seal?
