If you had 10W40 in when it was colder out 6 months ago, then it would have acted as a 10 weight oil, same as the 10W30. The difference in the viscosity is minimal, not enough to cause a seal to go like that. The oil isn't the problem, I'd go after the mechanic who put the seal in. I've gone from a 10W40 (some cars a 20W50) in the summer to a 10W30 in the winter for years. Even on the cars I've had with high mileage (200+K miles), it didn't cause a problem to switch. Just my $.02!
