I have been giving some thought to putting synthetic into my rear diff 
and was taking a look at things under the TR3 the other day.  Of course 
it seems like every time I look around I find something that needs 
attention.

#1 I have gear lube weeping between the diff housing and the axle tube.  
Assuming that doesn't mean an axle tube is about to fall off (I hope 
not) what is the best way to seal this weep?  Braze the junction all the 
way around?  or ??

2. I also noticed that my rear wheel cylinders are weeping.  Not yet 
enough to be noticed in the fluid can but enough to be noticed on the 
brake back plate.  I think this time I want to go ahead and have the 
cylinders sleeved so I would just have to buy seal kits in the future.

Any recommendations as to who does a good job of sleeving at a 
reasonable price and what their turn around time might be?

 Other thoughts?
