So the oil seal on the drivers side keeps leaking like a siv. I've replacedthe seal like 3 times now and it atops leaking after I put it in then the next day ill drive it for like 20 min and it starts to leak again. I don't know if I'm driving it in too far or too less. The seal is a bitch to drive in.... so my questions are.. how shiuld i drive the seal in, should I use a seal driver to cover the second lip of the seal or a smaller one to seat on the inner lip. And do i make the out lip flush with the housing or just the base lip? I don't get why it works to a little then decides to leak again ?! I'm fed up with this seal. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Sorry for the grammar issues, I'm on my phone and T9 sucks...

 

The first lip of the seal should be flush with the transmission case when driven in. Check the axle for burs where it runs against the seal to see if it's tearing them.

 

When you say the first lip that's directly looking down on it right? It's th smaller of the 2 right? Sorry I just don't wanna replace it again and have it fail again

 

No, the large one, the one closest to the diff.

 

Okay cool so that small lip should stick out a little bit?

 

Yes.

 

Alright cool thanks it helps a ton. Hopefully it works out

 

Lol i swear ima kill myself.. this seal is the biggest pain,so even when using a seal driver it just seems to want to seat in a lil off than the rest of the seal. Any tricks or tips? and what did you use to drive it in and do you just keep tapping till the driver is flush with the housing or will that put it too far?
