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

Is it actually leaking past the seal?
If so, I would check the axel, as it is was replaced, [what axel is it, make]?94

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

i did but i woud have never known how to tell from a good one or damaged one as ive never had to deal with nor do i know exactly how the tranny works.i dont know exactly what the differential does but the car runs normal and straigt on acceleration..sounds normal,only thing u can hear is the throw out bearing...but the only problem i see is the leakage....
