For whatever reason, the leak I found most maddening was caused by a cracked
OD drain plug gasket. Not having the correct replacement on hand, I cut one
from ordinary gasket material, which was too thin, with the result first
that the drain plug first bottomed against the screen retainer screw (mine
is a very early unit), and then the threads bottomed in the casting. After
finally making a thick enough drain plug gasket, the next leak was from a
warped adapter plate (apparently caused by some over-spirited tightening of
the long studs when reassembling the OD), and the leak after that was the
shifter shaft seals. The leak from those seals runs down over the OD,
making it appear that the OD is actually leaking.
