Front transmission seal keeps blowing

Ok. I have an 02 gs300 sport design. Welded the diff to have some fun. A few weeks went by. The the front seal blew. Ok whatever. Replaced it. A week went by. Blew it again. I understand the trans is going to build more pressure fighting the diff on turns and all. But is there anything else I can do to prevent it blowing again? Other than going back to an open diff. Lol. Thanks.

I've had a LSD on my car for 14 years now, no problems what so ever.. and I run it hard. What kind/type of diff are you running?

It's fun lmao. Ok. Pulled the trans. My fluid looks like chocolate milk. Even though I added 1.5 gal of fresh atf. So. ****s dirty. Any way to clean it up off the car on the insides of the trans?
