Could changing a new clutch cause an oil leak via drive shaft oil seal?

I have an oil leak since my new clutch was installed yesterday (a previous newly installed clutch was done incorrectly and so a new one had to be oput in).





Only thing is a had a drive shaft oil seal replaced at another garage 2 weeks ago too 9they said that the last clutch installation caused the leak). Which is likely to be the problem:





a: the repair from 2 weeks ago has caused the leak


b: yesterday's clutch installation caused the leakCould changing a new clutch cause an oil leak via drive shaft oil seal?
Always enter the year make and model of the car. Front wheel drive cars have a different clutch and transmission seal arrangement than rear wheel drive cars. Some people call front axles drive-shafts.





A transmission tail-shaft seal on a rear wheel driven car is inexpensive and easy to replace. Occasionally a leaking rear seal has a bad tail-shaft bushing or bearing causing the seal to leak. All seals are not created equal either.





In either case you can't positively say that the seal was or was not leaking before or after the first clutch replacement.Could changing a new clutch cause an oil leak via drive shaft oil seal?
Your confusing me!!


How can the clutch job yesterday cause a leak 2 weeks ago???


I hope you're not paying for a faulty job to be done twice?


Are you getting the work done by someone you trust with a good reputation, or just as cheaply as possible?





Possible causes.


Anytime the shaft has come out %26amp; gone back in could have caused the leak by nicking the sealing surface.


The shaft could be worn so the new seal isn't sealing properly.


The seal was just worn out, they go hard over time and don't seal properly.
changing the clutch would,nt cause a oil leak. probably the rear main seal was leaking in the first place and that,s what ruined the clutch. check the rear main seal. if it,s leaking then you will be changing the clutch before too long again.
