Hm. Where exactly was your leak? I have a similar problem. I've changed the output shaft seal 3 times and it still leaks in the area where the transmission and driveshaft meet.

Not the driveshaft but the seal and the surface it mates with. I'm just out of ideas. I've done the output shaft seal three times and it still leaks. Seems to sling the fluid when I really get on it. It's somewhere near the seal but the boot isn't ripped and the seal lip is flush.
