I had same problem with my SX disc brake.
The seal runs on the boss of the fixed hub which is alluminium. This boss wears quickly and the seals no longer seal.
I had the inner hub boss turned down and a steel ring pressed on. The boss does not wear and creates a good seal.
Our friends at Bowden did this for me

well having put the new tank in etc tried to start, took about 10 kicks. Decided to check head / barrel joint , no gasket. some oil traces aroud top of engine. At least it gave me the chance to check out the barrell etc. Didnt appear to be any leakage on joint, some oil traces were probably from the exhaust manifold joint  waiting for new bits now.................................................

,any takers
Keep it clean ;D
