Rear axle seal leaking

Two weeks ago I had new gears, ARB lockers, and ARB diff covers installed. During that time I didn't notice any oil anywhere while I did the 500 mile break in on the gears, but I wasn't really looking for it. I didn't even notice any when I changed the diff oil with new. But after I got back from a 200 mile drive I noticed it running down the brake on to the rear left wheel. Could I have to much oil in diff? The other side is dry and nothing out the breather. ARB said let a little oil out and see if it stops, but I feel if oil's getting out, water and dirt can get in, so the seal needs replacing. I'd like to hear what you all think about this. I'm looking forward to some feed back, thanks:thumb:

If it's not coming out the breather and is coming out by the brakes, you have an axle seal leak.

Yeah, it didn't go in there with one, so they can have it back and fix it. Thanks.
