Sometimes the simplest jobs frustrate me.
When I rebuilt the transmission, I installed a Redi-Sleeve on the output flange because the surface was pitted and grooved. A new National seal was installed. While looking at the driveshaft last night, I noticed it was dripping from the seal. A month ago, I installed a new pinion seal on the differential because it was leaking. I polished the flange, but there were no grooves or pits. It's still leaking as well.
I was very careful to make sure the lips on the seals were not rolled under, the flange surfaces were lubricated, and I used a block of wood and light taps to seat the seals so as not to distort the metal part of the seals. Come to think of it, the seal for the overdrive solenoid (new) is dripping as well. What on earth am I doing wrong to screw up three simple seal replacements?
