Did you replace the oil seal again? It's that that is leaking, the bearings being worn either now or before can be the cause of the seal leaking but you must replace the seal. As I have said, i replace mine every time I take the hub apart, they are cheap enough to do so, therefore I do.

Yes I did the oil seal when I replaced the kingpins last week...
Oil leaks normally come from the shaft moving around in the seal, not the seal itself which is why it is normally the knigpins or wheelbearing!!!!
The shaft is allowed to move by the play in the bearing and moves in the seal causing it to leak but if you'be replaced the seal and bearings I'm at a loss too, unless as others have suggested you have a blocked breather?
Sorry, I'm out of ideas.

I know!!! It's a tricky one this, I'm gonna pull
It to bits tomorrow, check it's not a "dodgy" seal
and perhaps put another new one in!!!
My breathers are ok first thing I checked, after
that I'm at a loss, it could be oil left in there before
that is still weeping out.....
