My bad double post found the manual but still wondering if there's another seal causing this.

You should have replaced the whole gasket kit if you broke them apart, not just the oring. Clean all the surfaces, I mean clean, clean. I had mine in for a warranty job, and they tried to reuse the gasket being cheap..... had a leak.

I had the drive off this winter, and you could see where the leak was. I cleaned every bit of dirt, sealant, glue, you name it until every inch was perfectly clean. Bought a new gasket kit and reassembled with a dab of grease on each o ring to hold them in place.................. WAALAA - no leak!!!
Most leaks are from poor surface prep. shouldn't take but an hour or two to fix yours up.
Good luck.

Oh, I thought you were talking about where the drive bolts up to the bellhousing (gasket and a few o-rings...). I should have read it again....
Well, hopefully you got it fixed then!!
