Gregory,
The reason most Troy bilt tillers have leaking seals after replacing them is because the axles/tine shafts are also bad. What happens is, 90wt oil in a close gear case, needs a vent, and sometime the vent will get plugged up, when it does, it starts venting around the rubber seal on the shaft, follows the path of least resistance, but anyway, the case will vent through the rubber lip on the seal, when it does, it then starts collecting dirt on the axle at the seal, the the axle turning with the dirt around the seal acts just like sandpaper, and it will make a ring around the axle where the rubber lip goes, and then the seal no longer seals, it lets oil drip out there. So, you may have to replace the axles or what shaft is leaking. this has been my experience with working on these tillers for the last 20 years.
