Axle leak from tranny

I own a 2007 Honda Fit sport

So during winter... my axle broke from slipping on ice. I bought another axle from O'reilys and installed with seals and everything... the tranny fluid keeps leaking... replaced seal.... it's still leaking after a month... had warranty and got a new axle and new seal.... still leaking?? Mechanic said the axle shaft meets the tranny is wobbly.... not sure exactly what's wrong... it's DRIVER SIDE FRONT AXLE

How many miles on the car? If side gear in differential wore out differential bore due to the spinning the lot of wobble will be detected in the axle near inboard joint (very common on first generation FWD Toyotas)
Try Honda OEM seal it is more flexible compared to aftermarket.

I was thinking same too. I'm gonna see if a Honda seal wil do the job.. I am curious to see... would an oreiliy axle be bad compared to oem? I'm sure they are like identical...

My transmission shift fines... everything about it is still really good

It has 114,000 miles

The only critical will be a nick or burr on the surface of diameter that touches the seal.
If no damage there, coat this diameter with wheel bearing or similar grease (#1 or #2 thickness) before installing
