Rear end leak

I have a 9 inch rear end in my truck and I have had an ongoing problem for a while. I have gear oil leaking out the right tube and into the break drum. It covers everything and is thrown all along the inside of the fender.

I replaced bearings, seals, gaskets, and used a whole lot of RTV and it still leaks. Anyone have any ideas or solutions to similar problems?

Have you seen if the tube that the bearing is put into is true (round). Was this the original rear end or no?

It's not the original rearend. I found out that Currie and Moser make an axle bearing with an o-ring built into the outside diameter. I think I am going to try this.
