Default RE: PLEASE HELP!!! OIL LEAK IN BACK OF CAR

Axel seal is my bet as well. When you pull the axel out make sure there isn't a groove that was etched by a bad wheel bearing. if so, replace both wheel bearings and axel shafts as well as the seal. I say this because if there is any play between the axel shaft and the bearing, that new seal will not last long at all...

I just got back from the shop and they said it was my axle, bearing and seal. They were going to order a stock axle and replace it today, but I told them to wait a week or two and I was going to buy some aftermarket axles. I had in mind Alloy USA 28 spline, there cheap, 35% stronger than stock, and comes with bearings and seals and a 10 year warranty. Does anyone have Alloy USA axles, if so, do you like them. What kind of axles do others think I should purchase?
