Thanks....the oil is coming out from between the two flanges (DS and tranny), rather than from the "forward" end of the flange assembly, so I think you're probably right. Will also check the breather hole...where is it?

: Josh you should be able to tell when you

: Obviously if it's dry, the seal and/or

: yes you can drop the shaft & pull

: a PITA, of course. Also check the vent
: hole, make sure it's not plugged.
: Oil can also migrate along the splines
: & leak out around the nut &
: washer. A little dab of sealer under
: the washer will fix that.

: been replaced whereas that has been the
: problem).

: I'm getting a bit of leak from the rear

: be replaced without pulling the rear
: section of the tranny off the gearbox?
: E.g. can I just unbol the driveshaft
: and drop it out of the way, and press
: the bearing/collar off and do the seal
: without moving the tranny?

: of course I will drain the tranny
: too...too bad since it's full of new
: Redline MT-90...grr.
