What he said....
Worst thing is, the reason it leaks, is probably because the axle is wasted.
If the place where it runs in the bearing is anything but smooth and flat, like practically indistinguishable from the rest of that section of the axle, then it's destroyed.

don't they have axle savers or something which relocate the point there the bearing and the seal actually sit on the axle? That might be an option if axle has some damage, right?
or it might just be worn out seal.
