Pain in the rear end fluid leak

Well gang, I just had it in for the 3rd time and a new SS shim installed on the youk.
Darm (for use of a better word) rear pinion seal still drips on the floor.
3rd GM seal
SS shim
Any suggestions Help,Help,Help.

When you have the yoke off did you notice any scratches or burrs on the part that goes in the seal and are you putting oil on the seal before you install the yoke.

When the shop installed the last seal it is riding on the Stainless Steel shim.
I have been seeing a lot of other Maro people who have had the same problem. Just was hoping some one of them would have a fix.
Thanks for reply.

Pinion is a common thing on these rears, especially m6's and those who ride hard

Not really a big deal though, its just annoying
