The seal is a hard rubber ring along with a lip that protrudes a little...so I squeezed the ring part in to try and keep it flush with the casing the best I could. I ran my finger all the way around to make sure that it was pretty flush before reinstalling the axle. The lip part that sticks out of the seal is not the part that needed to be flush, correct? I figured that if I pushed any further so that the lip part is flush with the casing I would have put the seal too far in.
I parked my car and waited for about 30 minutes and I saw only a drop of oil, but compared to how much it dripped before it was nothing. I cleaned the part it was dripping down from and went back inside for another 30 minutes and came out to check and it didn't look like it was dripping anymore. I just hope that I put the seal in correctly so I don't need to remove my axle again and redo it.
Thank you again for all the help!!
