    Same axle other side???
    If so check the vent on that axle.
    If it's plugged, it will build pressure and push oil past the seals.

    Install new lock nuts with nylon.

    Old lock nuts may come loose on you.

    Replace the gaskets on the ones that are leaking put new nuts on and torque them.

    I would take the other ones and replace the nuts on them one at a time with nylon lock nuts and torque everything in and you'll be good.
