Default Rear Axle Seal

I replaced a CV boot on the outside rear wheel a week ago. Since then I have had a pretty bad leak of rear diff fluid from what seems to be coming from the rear axle seals. What's weird, is that it leaks on both sides of the diff. Could both of these seals been damaged when I replaced this boot or is this another problem? This bike is brand new....I only have 150 miles on it. Need some direction....Thanks.

yea I agree, but if it is something simple that I can fix myself and not have my bike tied up in the shop for 2 weeks I would prefer that.

It sounds like it the seals.They are easy and cheap to fix.I use to have a grizzly 660 and i had to change them quite a bit.Just make sure you do change them and make sure the Diff. Fluid is clean. If it gets bad it gets real thick and is a pain to change.I have also had it get so bad it ate up all my gears and i had to replace the whole rear end.It wasnt fun or cheap.
