A lot of list chatter about how to stop oil leaks at the rear hub flange by
replacing the paper gasket or using goo of some sort. Am I right in
thinking that fitting a new oil seal inboard of the wheel bearing makes
this issue redundant, or is this not necessarily the case?

Neil--

A paper gasket stops oil leaking from the joint between the inner face of
the axle flange and the outer face of the hub (bearing carrier).
The lip seal stops oil leaking from the hub--that is, beyond the bearing in
the hub and the shiny bearing surface on the end of the axle housing.
So, they can both be a source of an oil leak.  A paper gasket will not cure
a bad lip seal and visa versa.  But a paper gasket is much easier to
replace!
Hope that helps--it is easier to picture than describe....

Neil,
Leaking axle seals are often caused by spun bearings. Use of too-thick Moss
cardboard gaskets causes bearing to be insufficiently gripped (as specified
in the manual). Heat from spun bearing causes seal to leak. Therefore
replacing the seal is not sufficient unless you correct the gasket / spun
bearing situation.
