Driping Diff........

Hi! I just install a limit slip on my 86 sport 7. I reseal, and clean the oil seals before i install the LSD in the car. But now is driping a fair amount of oil from the oil seals. What did i do wrong. FYI i put redline 75-90 gear oil in, and apply fresh oil on the oil seal before i put the axles in. I am also sure that i didn't damage the oil seal since i didn't pry on it at all. So how do i stop the oil leak? SHould i apply some heavy grease on the seals or get new seals? Thank you have a good day!!

You must have set the seal in wrong or damaged it someway if it is leaking. Pull it and try again.

Did you press it in with a big socket or seal driver?

And I wouldn't use some glue (RTV) to hold it in
