Are you saying that someone stacked two single lip seals in place of the double lip seal normally in that location? Sounds like someone's attempt to cure a problem leak.

Sometimes the problem isn't the seal at all, but rather the oil sneaking through between the shaft and the yoke. There was a rubber washer you could locate underneath the washer and nut retaining the yoke. You can put RTV onto the washer, shaft face, and the face of the yoke to prevent that. And, of course, make sure your breather valve or fording vent lines are clear.

Another thing that can be done to prevent the transfer case from getting overfilled whilst climbing hills, is to replace the transfer case to transmission bearing with a sealed bearing.
