Don,
It leaked badly, and then we learned that the machine shop neglected to put
the pressure relief holes in the rear cap. Everything else was re-checked
and is in perfect spec.
Now is only leaks moderately, I did not give away my bag of oil-dri.

Are saying the "modern MOSS oil seal" leaked and had to be replaced?
Thanks

Frank,
I think you are asking if it can be done without pulling the engine.
I
asked this question last year and the overwhelming sentiment was to
pull the
motor & trans. While it CAN be done in-situ, the effort and
headaches make
pulling the engine a much easier option.
And yes, I pulled the engine/trans as a unit then when in to replace
the
modern MOSS oil seal.
Bill
