94 explorer, leaking ATF
Did you pay someone to fix it? If so, then take it back and have them work on it again.
Are you sure it is the front pump seal leaking? I replaced one once before really studying the leak and later found it to be a trans fluid line had rubbed against the bell housing and had a small hole in it seeping fluid that ran down the bell housing and looked like a seal leak. Suggest you get some engine degreaser and thoroughly clean the area off, let the vehicle idle till it starts dripping, then see exactly where it is comming from. Front pump seal will drip fluid at the bell housing and the engine junction.
If it is leaking there, you could have a bad seal replacement job, torque converter seal face scored/burred, cracked front pump housing, or a bent flywheel causing the converter to wobble slightly.
Otherwise, check the cooling lines connections are tight at the transmission, transmission pan gasket is not leaking, etc, etc depending on where the leak is comming from.
