Apparently according to Jake Raby, the inner seals on his bearings are leak free:

which ims bearing upgrade

I would assume with a high quality bearing the seals will be better than the OE porsche ones, but i need to do more research, perhaps combined with a freeze plug in the ims shaft to block thermal expansion and contraction the grease would remain intact.

This post does a good job explaining how oil will get sucked into the tube, though I'm not sure I agree with his solution.
