They did actually fix the leak though?

One of the most common misconceptions when doing a pinion seal is that you can remove the pinion nut remove the yoke, replace the seal and put it back together and it's fine.

When in reality once you loose preload it's gone unless a solid pinion spacer is used. After a crush sleeve is relieved of pressure it is done working unless you crush it further which would lead to problems.
