Lobro reman axle bad in 9 months.

9 months ago I bought a Lobro reman axle from the now defunct Jagworks.com (another Worldpac drop shipper). I didn't know about fastlane then. A month ago I noticed grease around the axle bearing area. I was sure this meant a wheel bearing seal so last week I replaced the entire bearing kit. I packed the bearings with Amalie Blue HP wheel bearing grease. This morning I find the grease leak is back. It must be seeping from the end of the joint somehow. It is a muddy, slightly thin grease, nothing like the bright blue grease I used in the wheel bearings(no mistaking that). Does anyone know if another Worldpac dealer will warranty this? I'm pissed! $220 (probably more now) down the drain! Not even 13,000 miles on it!

I'm trying to figure where the grease is coming from. Either a crack or maybe where the joint is pressed to the stub axle.
