[Healeys] rear oil seal in tranny

[Michael Salter]

I recently had an overdrive unit develop a leak after replacing the rear
seal which, upon close examination, was caused by oil seeping down the
spline. I know it shouldn't but it did.
Resolved by smearing a little Permatex on the washer on the coupling side...
