Gator transaxle

I just rebuilt my diesel transaxle with the kit provided by Tuff Torx. All went well and it works great but after a couple of days the top seal on the input shaft started spraying oil. What might I have done wrong? I greased everything when I put it together. Do you need to really grease it heavily? Any tips for reassembly?

I appreciate any thoughts before I replace the seal again.
 
I do not use grease on seal installation anymore. I have found that grease is not really that slick compare to other things. I use silicone spray for most installation of rubber products. If not that I use soap. Grease is slick if placed between two surfaces but will wipe of easily. The silicone spray does NOT wipe off easy. On seals I think the lip wipes the shaft clean when lubed with grease.
