OIL LEAKS
It is difficult to determine the source of some oil leaks.
Even after the point of leakage has been determined, it is
hard to tell whether the oil is leaking past the lip of the
seal or past the O.D. of the seal. Therefore, it is a good idea
to make sure the leak is stopped by using a nonhardening
sealing compound around the O.D. of the new seal.
