so if you have a new drum and blade... have you put it in? are you sure the toner is coming from the drum?

these have a nasty habit of dropping toner out of the cleaning section when the soft mylar at the cleaning unit entrance is deformed or damaged. The toner then skips past the entrance and falls down the print side of the drum creating all kinds of havoc on the passing paper.

Have you checked the mylar I am referring to? it is the grey one at the cleaning section entrance. Check that it is straight. If not gently bend it upwards (away from the toner auger) and see how that works.

I replaced the myar recovery blade, but that may be the issue I have gotten 3 of them and ruined 2 and now its leaking again. the drum and blade are good

Take the top cover off the drum unit and make sure the waste toner auger area isn't clogged up.

While you have the top cover off, check the mylars on the roller next to the auger. If those mylars are worn or damaged, that drum unit may be trash, at least I never found a way to fix that.

There are people here who are far smarter than me though so pay attention to them.
