Perhaps I should have mentioned that, might have cut down on the confusion.

I’ve had one OEM rear hub leak gear oil on an 04 D2 I had years ago. Drove it home, at slow speeds I heard a nasty sound. Found the RR brakes were metal to metal! They weren’t when I test drove it lol, then I saw gear oil had contaminated it & that was that. Got her home & the hub was full of 80/90w, slapped on a 60.00 hub & it never did it again.

No confusion, well besides the usual stuff I wake up with, about it being the rear hub. When you mentioned o-ring...figured rear. Anyhow, still weird that a brand new hub doesn't have a good enough seal to hold back axle fluid. Can see a wasted/wobbled out hub loosing its ability, but darn...a new one...no way it should do that. Stinks, that you have to do the job twice.
