Leak from tail shaft after 2 new seals

Use some RTV like this one:

If that doesn’t work it may take a new tail housing.
Automatic Transmission RTV Gasket Maker, 3 OZ | Permatex®
ATF-resistant RTV for transmission pans and differential covers. Sensor-safe. OEM-approved formula.

That absolutely would make it leak.
Is any part of that gouge proud? If it's lifted about the surface than that will not let it seal properly. You might have to try and file it down slightly, and then maybe fill in the gouge with JB weld and sand it flush.
Hard to do on the trans unfortunately. Might have to pull the extension housing to repair it or replace it.

Noobz...this is the tail housing to drive shaft yolk seal on a transmission so what's up with the pinion seal link?

If a seal for most any rotating shaft keeps going bad and there no defect (rough spot or worn grove) in your case the driveshaft yoke, then it is usually a bad bearing letting the shaft move so much it damages the seal. Saying that, I don't remember what is in the trans rear housing.

I dont see why RTV wouldnt fix that. However, you need to clean it thoroughly first with brake cleaner and make sure trans fluid cant seep onto the area. Apply sealer, install seal. Heres the important part. You gotta wait for the sealer to fully cure before you put trans fluid back in. If its warm enough out, thats at least 24 hours. Maybe longer if colder out
