about two months ago ofside driveshaft oil seal began to leak myself and mate replaced it with new redesigned oil seal, a couple of days later it leaks again i wasnt course when fitting the seal but assumed i must have damaged it when fitting the driveshaft. priced job at local garage second seal fitted by them a couple of days later it leaks again took it back third seal, mechanic said small scratch on driveshaft buffed of with wire brush, run on ramp for about half an hour all ok then seal gives way major oil leak, didnt get out of garage told them to replace driveshaft fourth seal replaced put on ramp and run for half hour road tested all seemed ok a couple of days later it leaks again this is only the driver side seal cant understand why repeated failure of the same seal any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
