   I changed my drivers side driveshaft last week i have only recently put a new gearbox on the car about a month ago so when i changed my drivehaft i never bothered with a new seal, however i noticed the seal was leaking ..yesterday i replaced the oil seal in the gearbox and put the driveshaft back in place... left it standing on my drive for around 6-7 hours jacked the car back up and the seal was not leaking . however i drive my car last night and this morning and just to be sure i jacked the car up and there has been some gearbox oil leakage through the seal .. This is enoying because i dont know if anythjing can actully be done .. any ideas ?? please

   Replacing the seal is the only sure fire way. They are very dlicate and easily damaged when refitting the driveshaft unfortunately. At least the seals are cheap though mate.

   Replace again. As stevo said. They go very easy.

   Hi Craig,
   
   Try some non-setting sealant around the new seal.
