A drill bit for use in a borehole at least partially containing drilling fluid includes a bit body having at least two bit components, including at least one leg, the leg having a journal segment, and a roller cone rotatably mounted upon the journal segment and forming at least one bearing cavity therebetween. Also included is an annular primary seal disposed between the leg and the roller cone, an annular secondary seal disposed between the leg and the roller cone and between the annular primary seal and the borehole and an annular space disposed between the annular primary seal and the annular secondary seal, the annular space at least partially containing fluid and being in substantially absolute fluid isolation from the bearing cavity and means for permitting the flow of fluid from the annular space to the borehole. The annular secondary seal may be primarily elastomeric and the means for permitting the flow of fluid may further permit the flow of fluid from the borehole to the annular space. The annular space may at least partially include a grease possessing a water washout value of under approximately 50% per ASTM D-4049 water spray test for lubrication characteristics and the grease may include a polymer tackifier of between approximately 1% and approximately 5% by weight.
