Hello, I had leaking oil out of my drivers side rear axle at the wheel, so I replaced the seals (and bearings). I completed this a couple days ago and never even drove the truck since then. Now I see the drivers side axle is still leaking. Has anyone this and any idea what it could be?

I have a 2012 Ram 1500 5.7 liter.


Thanks,
Brad

Did you clean off all the oil leakage from before? Could this be just thge old oild still dripping down? Was the seal damaged in install? Did you get the correct seal? Is there a wear grove when the seal sits? Just a few ideas to check
