Default Dana 30 problem

So I got this 96 Cherokee and the guy that had it before me changed a lot of stuff. Well the problem I have is he put 4.10 gears in the front stock Dana 30 and he had to customize the bearings and seals to fit. Now gear fluid leaks out the ends of the axle. Does anyone now a fix o make this work.

If he said he had to customize the bearings and seals, I would question the whole front end, it doesn't matter what gears you have, the bearings and seals are all same.

Your inner axle seals are bad or possibly missing

So I got more info about the axel. He got the axel from a junk yard with 4.10 gears in but it had the weaker two shaft axle and he converted it two a stronger one piece in doing that he had to use a dremal to make the seals fit does any one now what would be the cheapest fix for this so it stops leaking
