gone through 2 pinion seals, what would cause this to keep leaking, just rebuilt rear end, anyone run into this problem before? using ford racing seal everytime. drive it for first 40 miles fine, than get it home and its dripping like crazy. car sits overnight, not bad after cooling. when i drive the car all the gear oil is all over the back bumper.

Hows the pinion flange where it rides against the seal? any gouges? also it could be leaking through the spline on the pinion gear, which a little RTV on the splines can seal up.
