I had the same problem on my Honda Prelude. Seals installed backwards do 
not seal very well.

              <div>6 months ago my local garage replaced the seal on the
                O/S rear axle which was weeping slowly. When I took the
                wheel and drum off today everywhere was covered in oil
                from a major leak. Previously the garage replaced the
                oil seal, bearing, bearing spacer, hub lock washer and
                the paper gasket. There is no O-ring on this model.<br>
                <br>
                Does anybody have any ideas what might have gone wrong?
                I assume the seal has completely failed. Any helpful
                advice I can pass onto the garage?<br>
