Thanks for all the advice everyone. I pulled the driver side axle that's not leaking just to compare the bearing and seal. They look the same although the seal on the leaking axle is a bit crooked. I took the axles to the machine shop last week and the machinist suggested that the seal inside the axle housing is probably the culprit.

Before I go any further I will try the vent tube suggestion. But just in case that doesn't solve the problem, has anyone ever removed this hard rubber seal that's just inside the housing?
