How long ago is recently? Was it replaced with a pattern part or second hand? If it was a new part from a half-decent manufacturer and replaced less than a year you can probably get it changed under warranty. It could well be the other driveshaft that's going and the new one has just split its cv.boot, but is still working fine.
Getting more difficult to get into gear will either be knackered linkages or low on box oil. You say there's oil all over the driveshaft, is it cv grease or gearbox oil? If it's gearbox oil then you probably need new driveshaft seals.
Best bet is to get under there and have a look, preferably with a mate who knows what they're doing.
