Arie, there is a metal cup that bolts on with the (brake) backing plate. This directs any oil that leaks from the seal, out through the "tell tale" hole in the back plate. I would pack the bearings with grease (not oil) The outer seal will stop diff oil from mixing with the grease in the hub (wheel) bearings.
