Axle seals leaking caused by lowering ride height?

The left seal for the axle going into the transmission is leaking. I noticed it the same day after I had the coils installed and I could tell it had been leaking for a while then. I have taken it to 3 dealers, the 1st one said Ok, but I had to leave the area and go back to school, the other dealers are telling me the drive axle angle is causing the problem (both with different stories). I do not think the axles are causing the problem they are more parallel of course but the same as any other lowered car and I do not hear people screaming about leaking shaft seals. Thanks

sounds to me like you need to put it back to stock and bring it in.

well, that or find another dealership
