I recently replace the cv joints, tie rods & tie rod ends on my front driver & passenger sides. I also had to replace the seal by the cv joint on the drivers side. Car worked fine for about 3 days then started leaking trans fluid on the drivers side. So, replaced the seal again. Drive another 2 days fine. Then the leak was back. Seems to be a little play in the shaft behind the seal could that be messing up the seal? What needs to be done to correct this issue.

Did you check to make sure there is no wear on the axle itself causing the seal to fail. And yes, if there is a bad bushing or bearing in the trans, it could cause the problem, but check the axle to make sure there are no burrs or problems with it.
