[Healeys] rear oil seal in tranny

[Bob Spidell]

Doesn't hurt (sometimes I do, sometimes I don't). I'd use Hylomar or 
something that doesn't harden or say 'adhesive;' could make it very hard 
to remove (hopefully, not necessary--again). Very thin film only, most 
of it will get pushed out anyway.
