Default Help with leaking transmission fluid

Hello, I have been having a slow leak of transmission fluid near the passenger axle seal. I am in the process of replacing the axle seal and am curious if the seal will actually fix my problem. I had the transmission swapped and had a slow leak since then but didn't think much of it because I was happy to drive the car for once! I picked up the transmission from a guy who said it was from a 94 SI del sol, as mine is a del sol S. when trying to pick up the transmission seal all the ones at AutoZone are all too small.... so is this possibly a VTEC del sol transmission and I need a larger size. Then does that mean my leak could be from having the D series axles on the other transmission. Sorry I tried searching but I don't even know where to start. Also what seal would I need now, I purchased part number #4901 and it was too small. Please help!

You stated that you have a Del Sol S... do you still have the original D15B7 in the engine bay ? If you still have a single cam engine, only a single cam transmission will bolt up to it, so you wouldn't have to worry about the possibility that a DOHC Del Sol VTEC transmission potentially being installed... it will NOT bolt up to a SOHC engine.

The LEFT side (long axle) seal OE part number is 91205-PL3-A01.
The RIGHT side (short axle) seal OE part number is 91206-PL3-A01.

Thanks for the response! Yes still the original D15B7 is in the car, and okay I was just worried that I took a small job and now turned it into a headache. I cannot seem to find the correct part at autozone as there computers kept giving me a smaller one. I'll have to see if honda might have it tomorrow.
