Dampness??
At the rear axle oil seal?
Only if you never drive it Kees.
Ask anyone who has ever given a Healey a hard time, and I can almost guarantee
that the rear diff to axle seal isn't the standard rubber one.
The gasket isn't the issue. The standard seal fails under the heat.
I use a CR seal. I'll look up the number tomorrow.
There are brake temps, axle oil temps - more than enough temperature to dry out
a paper gasket.
Seriously.
