Re: tranny seal leak on a gsr transmission
Seal leak for several reasons. Either its the wrong one for your Trans, its been damaged during install to the Trans or upon drive shaft install, or there is play in the diff bearings causing play in the shaft and damaging the seal

If so, I would check the axel, as it is was replaced, [what axel is it, make]?94

Re: tranny seal leak on a gsr transmission
It would not be the first time that an "oem like one" or even an OEM Honda part was DOA.
But I agree with instructor74 and you, you did "pop" and axle doing 85, that can't be good for the differential.
Did you check the bearing before installing the new drive shaft and seal(s)??
Don't forget to check the driveshaft. 94
