OP
I guess I spoke too soon
So about another 50 miles on the jeep and i noticed this AM
that dreaded puddle of rear diff fluid on the inside of the passenger rear wheel
took the wheel off to take a look
and the seal is leaking on the inside part where the lip of the seal meets the axle shaft
the bolts on the retainer plate were still snugged down properly (i checked them with a tq wrench)
at this point i am kind of stumped
when i installed the new seal
i lubed the hell out of the inside of the seal and the axle shaft with white lithium grease
should i try a different lube instead if i install a new seal ?
the axle is literally brand new
the surface is clean as clean can be
no nicks or marks etc
i used the rite stuff sealer around the outside perimeter of the seal
(it is not leaking on the outside portion)
everything went back in to place nicely on reassembly and was nice for about 345 miles
and now all of a sudden its leaking again
Does anyone have any ideas what i should be looking for at this point ?
I absolutely cant have it leaking fluid
