So, if you don't follow my build thread I just finished a 2 year GSX swap at the end of October. I've got a little bit more than 300 miles on my car since I finished it in the last month. Friday I noticed a quarter size drip under the rear of the car so I put it up in the air on Saturday.
It appears my axle seals on each side are leaking. My question is why - what did I do wrong? I replaced both of them when I did the swap, along with new fill and drain plugs and gaskets. They were OEM Mitsu seals from Extreme PSI and I've seal replacements before, so I'm not a first timer. It seems odd to me though they're leaking from both side. Looking for your input. Pictures below. TIA.

Passenger Side: (a little harder to see b/c there's metal shield on the axle)
