Transmission oil leak.

Transmission oil leak.
I have a 1997 Civic with a B18C swap using a GSR transmission with EM1 Cardone axles. The car drips oil daily and it's a little annoying. I'm for certain it's not motor oil, I've checked. I've replaced the crush washers for both drain and fill bolts on the transmission but it still leaks and I for some reason, cannot trace it. I'm now thinking it's the axle seals. Which axle seal should I be using with my swap? I'm can't remember what halfshaft I'm using either. Is there a way to tell?

Re: Transmission oil leak.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think B series S80 trannys all use the same axle seals/gaskets. I used Civic Si B16A axle seals in my S80 B18C-R tranny.

I found that the passenger side axle seals are the some from b18/b16. Not sure of the driver side half shaft side though, can't find the p/n on those parts breakdown lists.
Edit:
Okay I found that both sides use the same part numbers. I'm not sure where else to look for this leak now...
