More seriously, if dirt got into the seal/ shaft interface it may have worn a groove in the shaft which will contribute to the problem. Another thing to check is the breather vent for the trans- axle - If this has become clogged with grunge or mud [been out 4-wheeling?] the pressure increase inside the gearbox when it heats up may drive some oil past the seal. Hope this helps, Dave
