This is what was fitted with the halfshaft and of course the small axel oil seal that came with my kingpins, the kingpins did not need fitting though.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Most likely there is too much grease in the swivel housing.
Eventually the surplus will stop coming out.

You could undo the ring of 10mm headed bolts that hold these swivel seals on to have a look in them for yourself to see how much grease is in there and wipe any excess out. Don't wipe your kingpin bearings dry though, just any excess around the housing.
If you smell cats piss and the grease appears watery then the axle oil seal for the shaft has failed and diff oil is leaking, but you've had a new one of them so it should be ok. I'm not convinced you needed a new shaft though.
Perhaps have a go yourself in the future. We'll support and advise you and you have how to sections to help too.
