The seals I found for my 59 Apache fit so tight when I tapped them in with a seal driving tool, it peeled the green paint off the outside of them. I was worried the new style seals were not as thick as the original ones. but they are working just fine. So, if your axle is leaking on the side with the divet I'd go with what TUTS 59 said above. Put a light coating of RTV around the outer edge of the seal. Spray solvent on it and make sure its not leaking sitting there static, apply the RTV and let it dry overnite before driving it. I've seen that fix a few in the past.
Good luck!
A good Tech Tip
