I just replaced both of the cv axels in my 1990 gts 5speed standard transmission.. Now there are two small areas where it is leaking which i assume is on both sides. Before i do this seven hour job all over again to fix it can someone tell me what parts i need?? is it the seals i couldve broke??

Are you certain the axles are popped in all the way? Just wondering.

No I'm not positive? It isn't making a noise and when I first put them in and chrcked to see if both sides turned and they did

Did they make a little "snap" feeling when the shafts went in? There are two snap rings- one for each shaft- that secure the shaft inside the differential.

Did you replace the seals when you replaced the shafts? A damaged seal will also leak.

See i didn't replace the seals so that is my guess for what is causing it to leak. And yes I did snap them into place.

Could someone tell me what type transmission I have so I can order the seals? I was going to order them at autozone. But he said there are four different kinds and I need to find out which on it is first.

Under your hood on the firewall there is a square aluminum tag that has that information on it. There should be a line that says something like "A/T", followed by an axle code and transmission code.
