Axel seal problems

Hi,
I have been having some problems with a leak. So I took it to the shop and they said my left front axel seal was broken so they replaced it. A few days later the leak was still occurring. So the shop checked it out and adjusted it free of charge. Now its leaking again. Any idea of what the problem is? Its my daily driver, no track use.

Thanks

Try to jack it up and make sure the axels are pushed all the way in up Against the seal where the dust cover is I have seen people or push them all the way in bolt everything uP and the cars leaks like crazy when driving

What kind of axle is it? Was the seal pushed in too far? If it's in too far it will not seal correctly.

It's the front OEM Evo 8 MR axle. My mechanic has replaced it three times so far, so I'm not fully sure how far its pushed in. Is there a certain seal I need? Its a National front axle seal.

My driver side going into the trans was leaking a while back. I pulled it out and only pushed it in about halfway and then put the axle back in and let the little cup on the end of the axle push the seal to where it needed to be.

At least that's what I did and I have not had an issue since. Good luck bud.
