You can keep on putting seals in, but with a worn bearing, the seals will fast start to leak again. Leaky seals are only symptoms of deeper troubles, something has to make them leak.....

Could the bearing also cause the noise ? I'm thinking I'll take the spare driveshaft, have it re-balanced with new u-joints, start working the problem backwards.
