Front hub oil leak with new seal was created by Duell
Two weeks ago I changed oil seals and king pin bearings on a -06 Jimny.
After a couple of days the left hub started to leak oil. The oil seal looks god, but I saw a groove on the drive shaft.
Should I just put in a new seal and hope for the best or do I need a new shaft?

Thanks for your reply.
I took a look at the seal, it says 26x38x6 but when I measure the height it seems to be 7mm.
The kit I bought on Ebay is supposed to be eqvialent to 09283-26016. I think the kit on Bigjimny was sold out a couple of weeks ago, that's why I ordered it from Ebay instead.
I've already a new 8mm seal, hope it will be fine.
