yes we double checked everything, appears to be leaking from the bottom of the seal.

Try a thin film of RTV around the metal rim of the seal when you drive it in, or if it's leaking at the rubber lip, check the pinion flange for burrs or a groove. Also make sure the breather hole in the axle housing isn't stopped up.
