a few years ago and around 50,000 miles ago i had my tranny rebuilt and after everything was fine for 50,000 miles lol but now i had a problem the high gear broke so they dropped the tranny and just changed the 2 parts which broke. the problem is since i got the car back the problem i have transmission fluid leaking from the axle seal i believe the area where the axle slides into under the vehicle there is a little lip with a gap i hope someone knows what i am talking about. i had this same problem last time i got the transmission rebuilt and i got stuck replacing the axle because i believe he told me it was not smooth or it was pitted after the axle still had a small leak brought it back and he changed the axle seal again and has been fine ever since. i just brought it back to the guy who fixed the high gear he pulled the axle replaced axle seal he told me if i still have a leak i will have to change the axle he told me the axle i have is not smooth and thats what may be causing it. guess what i got the car back and still have a small leak. I really don't feel like paying someone to change the axle again. should i leave it alone i don't think it is a large leak after i shut the car off i only see about 2 or 3 drops on the floor i don't know if it is leaking when i am driving. Is it hard to change the axle is this something i can do myself?

 

I have been watching the leak and it is minor my question can i just try and seal the lip with rtv sealant. Will i do any damage by doing that i actually took a picture of where it is leaking from here is the link thanks for any input you may have

Is it leaking from the TRANSaxle or the halfshaft seal?

 

it is leaking from under the transmission so i would think it is the axle seal. had seal replaced and still have a slow leak
