Not sure what the previous two were reading

Did you get the internal seal for the shaft, or the o-ring for the outside? Either way, get yet another one and before you install it clean the metal surfaces that it seals. Spend a little time, cleaning may turn up a crack or burr you missed before. If it's the o-ring, grease the crap out of it and install. If it's the seal grease the inside lips, be sure to press the seal on its outer edge while installing and make sure it's seated square. Good possibility you just nicked the seal/ring on your last attempt.

Could've sworn it said seal in the OP.

With a little commonsense approach I would say its the seal he purchased.

Not much buys you with $8 brand new (for our car, or any car) especially if its from a dealer.

Assuming it was the seal he purchased and replaced, logically speaking if it was good right after the installation then started leaking in the same spot after only a few days or miles (not really enough time to discount the new installation as successful) then I would suggest revisiting that same very seal you have installed.

It may have moved, be defective or damaged upon installation which only became evident after a few drives.

Having said the above, it is highly recommended to re read your typing, structuring your sentences and paragraphs so it details your problem and experiences in a way that is easy to read (prior to posting). That way you will attract more helpful posts and reduce the frustration (of misreading, not having enough details etc)
