Left axle leaking

I'm bringing my car in this week because my left axle is leaking.

22,058.67 miles on my car.

2k2 ex coupe. stock front sway bar is 25.4mm. What could cause this premature wear and tear: hard cornering, or bumps and potholes in the road. My car doesn't pull left or right, and my transmission isn't slipping.

Accelerating into turns is the only reason I can think of which will cause a lot of wear on your CV joints.

I'm sorry, but what is a "leaking axle"?

replacing the seal isn't that hard.
taking the axle out would probably take you the longest.
you have just to buy a new boot from kragen or something, then replace your old one. they'll also come with new grease and it can become messy when you try to apply it.

Is it leaking oil out of the transmission or is grease coming out of the cv joint boot? You keep talking about two different things, I'm confused

Honda said they are repalcing the left Axle seal. So I figure its the axle that is leaking, but I didn't check the car myself.

So there is nothing wrong with the actual axle?

Getting to the seal is the hard part. You have to remove the axle to replace the seal. Easy for me or Honda, just takes a little time. For you
People could help you better, if you were a little clearer with your question from the start.
