a couple of days ago maybe a week i posted about replacing on seal on my front axle and the other stoppe leaking. well i just drove my truck round trip bout 800 miles and when i got home i noticed both seals are leaking again. The one i replaced doesnt even have 3000 miles on it but its leaking. Any ideas as to what my problem might be.

cloged diff breather. You also could have damaged the seal if you let the shaft come in contact with it during installation. I'd check the breather first though, seeing as how both went out.

unhook the breather hose from the diff and blow through it or, just pull off the breather valve that is attached to your dr side fender and try blowing through that.

I ran into the same issue last summer with one of my CV shaft seals. There was a tiny groove worn into the shaft sealing surface so I replaced the shaft along with a new seal and it fixed the leak.

its not the shaft you replace but the inner joint housing.

find someone with a blow CV who wants to get rid of it. ADD or manual make no difference with the inners.
