thats what i dont know but it has to be cause it fits tight in the trans and its tight on the axle so i dont see how it can keep dripping every day.. perfectly clean when i install it and all and same thing keeps happening.

is axle pushed in all way? did you buy from same place all the time or different suppliers? maybe bad seal, did you see it coming from the tranny? i thought it was my seal untill i actually got under car again when was taking downpipe off and seen my axle boot was ripped and looked like it was leaking from the seal but it was my axle boot instead.... does your tranny fluid go down? do you have to refill it alot?

no def not axle boot . its leaking fluid from the trans . right where the axle spins inside the seal it drips every time i park the car.. not alot but about a half dollar size puddle every time i park .i replaced the seal about 3 times now and the axle .. it fits tight how it should but it always leaks.. i dont have and idea why.

did you push in the axle or tap it in? maybe you tapped it to hard or something but 3 seals should have done it for the seal at least, try taking out the axle and reinserting the axle, i hate leaks lol
