Hello,

2002 Volvo S80 2.9i b6294s2 motor and GM 4T65EV transmission.

Got a left Drive Shaft replacement 2 months ago:
I bought this aftermarket part from this store. It is hard to find drive shaft for my volvo, because It equipped with the GM 4T65EV transmission. But finally I found this.

On the left side the transmission oil started to leak.

Then we replaced the SEAL:
I bought VOLVO ORIGINAL seal...

After 1 month, It started to leak AGAIN.

What can cause it?

- Can a seal installed incorrectly? badly?

- Can an aftermarket drive shaft misfits and cause transmission oil leaks?

I am really tired, spent a lot money on this drive the car back every time to repair center.

Well I've seen both. I've seen seals that were made poorly and I've seen drive shafts that were made poorly. Of course, the only way would be to get this exact measurements and then get a micrometer and measure the things.
