What sort of help are you looking for?

I suppose I'm just looking for any ideas of what it might be or if
anyone else has had a similar problem. Maybe if someone knows an easy
first option that I could check. Since the seals were just replaced, I
doubt it would be a crack in the seal and the engine is not
overheating. I'm at a loss as to what else it could be and I'd rather
not take it apart without having at least some idea of what to be
looking for.

There's only three possibilities. The seal around the u-joint yoke, the
u-joint yoke, or the seal at the oil passage to the gimbal housing.
