On my 96 FWD tranny i just placed both drive shafts and the seals that prevent the tranny fluid from coming out around where the shaft goes into the tranny.

Replaced both and drivers side is not leaking just passenger....what could cause this?

It can be one of two things. The seal or the shaft the seal runs on. The shaft in this case is the CV joint housing. If you discount one by replacing it , it has to be the other.
