Leaking from rear wheel- but not the wheel bearing

I've noticed in the last couple of days that i've got a small amount of oil on the inside of the o/s rear wheel. I took the wheel and drum off earlier and it is only a small amount and coming from the shaft/axle area.

I replaced both rear bearings and i've done less than 800miles since doing so. Is it the axle seal not seated correctly?

There's no play at all in the bearing and no noises related to a shot bearing.

It does look a little too much to be that, i've cleaned it all up and will see if it keeps happening.
