When doing the suspension the driveshaft slipped out. After sliding it back in there is ATF leaking out. What went wrong?

Hello,

What happened is the driveshaft yoke must have catch the edge of the seal and damaged it causing the leak. You must remove the driveshaft and install a new seal here is a guide and instructions and diagrams below to help you fix the car.
