D60 Axle Tube Seal?

Are D60 front axles supposed to have some sort of seal between the axle tube and the axle shaft? I am assuming so, otherwise what prevents oil from the differential from going down the tubes and spilling out on the knuckle and the road? I have my axle assembled but not swapped yet and oil seems to leak from there, so what did I miss or mess up?

I know that in the D70 rear, the oil from the pumpkin is supposed to lubricate the bearings and such on the spindle. This is what I was told at least with a warning not to use much if any grease on the rear wheel bearings.

Someone point me in the right direction please.
 
There are seals but in order to change them you must pull the carrier out. These are changed from inside the pumpkin area of the diff.
 
MAD4x4 makes 60 axle tube seals. But they did not come stock.​

I believe your talking about the wrong thing. He needs the inner seals that go on either side of the diff not out at the tube ends.

You need these.
