I have oil lube wheel bearings and use the proper hub oil seal (RTC3511 from memory).
A while ago and I replaced the hub seal with a new one even though the seal was new when I converted to oil wheel bearings as it was leaking oil onto the back of the brake disc.
The hub seal has been slowly seeping oil out onto the disc again. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong as the other side has been 100% fine. I've checked the wheel bearings a few times since, but I'm confident they are adjusted correctly.
In search of another problem this time I noticed the scoring/marks on the sub axle where the seal runs... Is this bad? Enough to cause a leak?
If so, a new stub axle is about $80. Is sleeving it an option? Never done that before. What is the cost/effort to do so? Do I use the same seal type then, or a new one that is specific to the sleeve?
Cheers.

SubscriberJustin , i just fixed a leak on my real hub also and it had marks similar to yours.
I checked the surface for roughness and fitted a new seal, so far so good although i half expected it to leak again as the hub was really loose - that was 2 weeks ago and no leaks yet.

That's exactly where I was at a few months ago when I put a new seal on. It lasted more than a few weeks, but here I am now.... MINOR leak, but over time enough to seep around and onto the disc. I cleaned it up last weekend after taking that photo and refitted everything and I expect it will be a few weeks before I see any oil again, but if I have to take it apart again, it looks like speedi sleeve is the answer.Originally Posted by loanrangie
I hope yours lasts, but if mine is anything to go by, I reckon you'll be back here in within a few months.
Ive done all 4 of mine twice in the last 200ks, i gave up on speedy sleeves as the seal wore through them and have been replaced all with new stubs over time, i was told to make sure i used a good wheel bearing grease on the seal lips when fitting, all my hubs/wheel bearings are oil converted

If it is lasting a couple of months now remove it and get it polished in a lathe
Will also tell you if it is bent .The insertion depth of the oil seal is pretty important also
