You have four potential areas for leaks:

1. The axle through the bearing

2. Through the bearing seals

3. Between the bearing and the flange

4. Between the flange and the body

The grease really doesn't seal anything.

You need to determine where you have the leak and fix that area, it could also be a combination of all the above.
