Check your breathers on the axle, often blockages here force the oil out the hub. Easy to remove then clean with some petrol. I had an oil leak like yours and did this first - no oil leak! Have since changed the bearings and seals, the seal was as good as new, just the build up of pressure in the axle causes oil to be expelled by easiest route. hope this helps, but probably too late...
