Make sure your axle vent is not plugged, If it is that will cause the issues you are having because as the axle gets hot it builds up pressure and if the vent is plugged the pressure has to go somewhere and its usually out one of the seals...

The back wheel smoking could well be caused by a dragging brake. Check to see if the rear rotor gets hot while driving. Rusted caliper pins or a frozen caliper could result in overheated brakes.

Severely overheated brakes may have caused the axle seal leak.
