This probably seems simple to most but can anyone tell me what would most likely be causing this problem.
Mant Thanks

Looks like a LandRover. Some would say this is normal :-)))
Not sure of your setup, but it might have been overpacked (Do LandRovers still fill the hub with oil instead of grease???). And simply levering off the cap, and a smear of silcone around the rim of the cap may fix it. But then again, there are other sinister causes mentioned above.
Cheers
Phil

Take your pick..
As above-
1 damaged grease cap
2 wrong type of grease (melting at low temp)
3 too much grease (no room for expansion)
also-
Blocked diff breather or water in diff oil- it pressurises diff and blows oil out past the axle seals into the swivel hubs
A dud oil seal between axle housing and axle
loose drive flange nuts- if you dont tighten them soon, they may shear off.
