Need Help with new driveshaft oil seal

Post by darkmagi »

I fitted several driveshaft oil seal's over the last couple of months to my 2 ( LONG STORY ) after having a gearbox fitted, Both the seal's seemed fine for the last month as i have been checking them every so often but this morning i noticed a little bit of oil sitting between the driveshafts it seems to be coming from the o/s shaft, I dont think there is a problem with the diff carrier as i cant move the drive shaft forward or back, Infact i cant move it up or down either, I was wondering if there is any chance there could be something else that would cause the seal to leak after about a month or is it possible that i damaged the seal putting the driveshaft back in.

Any ideas would be great as im getting a bit fed up being under the car & it seems to be one thing after another the last few months.... :(
