Exactly the question I had also with 2 seals on the bearing, I believe the inner seal was originally not sa'pose to be there in the first place.

correct, there is no place for the oil to go except to the bearing.

That would be great if they did, as Mikefocke posted above, there are plenty of reports of the oily mess running out of changed bearings.
