Unthread the fitting( use a deep well socket to unscrew it from the axle). Then use a drill bit to clean out the fittting. Also try to blow out the hose with compressed air to make sure no bugs or dirt are obstructing.
You would have to have some realy bad spots on the axle shaft for the seals to leak that bad. Try fixing the vent tube fitting first.

Can I blow out the hose without removing it? It's connected up in a hard to reach spot. I assume the hose just runs to an opening somewhere up there but I can't see the other end well.
