Trans seal leaking again.

Ok so how many people have had their driver side trans seal replaced more than once? Mine is leaking again ( third time). Question is will warranty cover it again? Is it something I can change myself? Thoughts and opinions are appreciated.

i replaced mine in spring, not the drivers side is leaking.

axle seals arent really a problematic thing on most gm fwd stuff (4t45e excluded, those things suck). the key thing is to make sure your installing the seal correctly, make sure the seal and axle are spotless when installing the axle, and make sure there is no groove cut into the axle. if there is a groove you may be able to get something called a speedy sleeve (very thin metal sleeve that goes over the axle and the seal will ride on) or else have to replace the axle.

I still have power train warranty. Should i try to make a stink to GM because this will be the third time it will be fixed?
