Are you talking about the seal on the rear of the hub, next to the rotor? If that is the one, then you need to buy it from the dealer cuz it is a big seal and not just the gooey stuff

There is only 2 seals on the hub, the o-ring seal on the cap and the big seal next to the brake rotor. When I replaced my cv joints I had that same problem. My seals started leaking. You will have to get them from your dealer. They are $13 a piece. Replace the o-ring seal on the cap too. Those are only $1.75. The seal isn't hard to change. Remove the hub and take off the brake rotor. The bolts have loctite on them and you may have to apply some heat to them. Then appy some heat to the seal and pry it out. Be careful though. You don't want to scratch the hub. Use some brake cleaner to clean the hub really good. Install the new seal with the spring side facing down. Press the seal in, or use a big piece of steel and use a hammer to knock it down. Just make sure it goes in straight and evenly. Put then disc back on. The manual syas to use new OEM polaris bolts. But, I used the old one with blue loctite and torqued to 18ft.lbs
