    Seals keep leaking

    Hayward pump replaced due to seal leakage which caused motor to corroded, noticed upon opening pool. Shaft was locked up. Ordered new drivetrain parts in case a crack I couldn't see and quality seal set. Installed and seal is already leaking again. Lubed correctly. Any ideas?
