I agree with Randall on this. It could also be a combination of the worn
area and a restricted vent. If the axel is worn, the slightest pressure my
force the oil past the seal.

How exactly did you test it?  It only takes the slightest groove where the
seal lip rides, to tear the lip up in short order.  My rule of thumb is that
if I can't polish away all marks with crocus cloth, the area must be renewed
(or the seal installed to ride somewhere else).
