I have a 727 tranny in my 68 charger and oil was leaking out the end so I put a new seal in drive shaft side and now it's leaking again is there another seal inside

ALOT of things can cause a leak where you describe. First off, check to see if the bushing in tail shaft isn't worn out causing driveshaft to move around.

Also, you will NEVER stop a leak there. It will always have a drip or two, but shouldn't be pouring out. Remember, this is old skool tech. Due to design, these engines/trans' do tend to drip every now and then.

Like Cooter said, you can change the seals till the cows come home but the cause is likely a worn bushing but while youre at it make sure the nose of the drive shaft isnt worn too where the seal contacts. :yesnod:
