I'd say it's a common thing, shielded or seals, grease is gonna work out, if you use them, and I don't know of anyone that makes a grease that won't work out, you'll have to admit, there are differences in "seals", and what they call a seal on a brg, is only to keep it in there for shipping, really, just like the front snout brg in a rear end, it has seals on it, but as soon as the grease moves out, diff lube will go thru it like ^%$ thru a tin horn. Just lube them as you have been, and consider it normal maintainace. Bob

LOL! If you stop putting grease in them all the time, it will stop coming out all the time. Seriously, they're not meant to have grease continually pumped into them-they actually run hotter with too much grease. When they're new, just put a little more grease in them (like 1 pump), because they don't come with quite enough IMO, but then leave them alone for 6-8 races. After that, you could probably put another pump of grease in them, or just clean and regrease them.
