Axle seal blues
Hello All,
Since Ive owned my GC I've replaced my right rear, what i understood to be axle seal, but after about 1k miles worth of trips i noticed diff fluid on the inside right rear tire. Now when I took the wheel off and removed the axle my just replaced seal/(large o ring) is still in tact. Im confused? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Axle could be slightly warped. Not enough to do significant damage to the bearing but enough to let diff juice slip by the seal. I have this issue on my Camaro but waiting on disc brake swap parts to swap axles/bearings/seals
