Phil, First thing that come to mind is that they put the lip seal in backwards.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Leaking rear axle hub (BT7) following recent
installation of new seal!
Hi all,
6 months ago my local garage replaced the seal on the O/S rear axlewhich was
weeping slowly. When I took the wheel and drum off todayeverywhere was covered
in oil from a major leak. Previously the garagereplaced the oil seal, bearing,
bearing spacer, hub lock washer and thepaper gasket. There is no O-ring on this
model.
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?
