You might be missing that circlip on the end, in which case that would explain your leak. The axle will slide out past the seal on every right turn and gush tranny fluid. Pull the axle and check it.

Well the thing is, it just all leaked with the tire sitting strait over night. I can tell it wasn't leaking anything until after I parked it because it leaked maybe 1-2 quarts

Anything going in and out of a seal over time will degrade the surface of that seal

Now that I thought back really good there wasn't a clip on the driver side axle when I pulled it out. I think it got stuck inside? How hard would it be to get the clip out? I went down and looked and saw oil falling pretty bad from the axle then checked it and there was a bit of play with it =\

I've never seen that clip get stuck in there, but I can't imagine it's easy to get out if it did. You may end up breaking apart the transmission so you can get at it from the backside. Hopefully that isn't what happened, though.

Well I know for sure when I went to go put the axle back in the clip wasn't in there.. It's only about a hour to take the axle out so I'll do it tmw when I change the wheel bearing

I can't see the clip coming off inside. Did the axle slide out easily when you were changing your clutch? Usually it will come out a few inches then you have to give a nice pull on it to get it to come out completely.

Well I know for sure it wasn't hard to come out. Can't recall if it had that pull needed.
