[Healeys] Rear axle gasket question

[Oudesluys]

Well, there won't be much oil from a leaking engine reaching the outer 
ring of the bearings and the rear axle housing. If there is dampness 
there, corrosion makes dismantling the rear bearing in a future occasion 
unnecessary difficult. This area does not dry out easily.
