Leaking ATF on right side oil seal
I actually got my axles at Oreilly's as well. The other parts stores didn't have the axle and appeared to not be able to order it. When I noticed the seal leaking after the axle install, I got a seal from Oreilly but it looked a lot different from the OEM and it seemed to fit the axle very loosely. I decided not to install that seal so I got one from Nissan and it seemed to fit more snugly but I still had the leak and the vibration. The second axle replacement cured the vibration. Unfortunately, I won't be able to report back to you about the fluid leak because I traded cars this weekend. I had been looking at a 2006 SE and ended up trading for it. I actually replaced the axle during the time I was negotiating with them on the trade. I expect that the vibration was causing the shaft to move just enough to cause the seal to leak but I'll never know for sure!
Best Wishes in getting yours fixed.
