I've had the same problem.n If your car is high mileage and hasn't had particularly good maintenance it may have a worn ring around the pinion shaft. If it has worn too much the new seal can't make contact properly with the pinion shaft and will let fluid leak.
You can either replace the pinion shaft or have a sleeve machined and pressed in place on the old pinion shaft.
