[Healeys] Rear axle seal

[Alan Seigrist]

Warren -

Usually on the later axle, the leak comes when the hub's o ring is old
and gasket is not right.

Order a proper paper gasket and o ring and put it all back together,
not really all that difficult and a good excuse to inspect the hub for
loose nuts.  Don't make your own paper gasket here - the paper gasket
is made to a factory specification.
