Yeah. Good point, but I'm wondering why something that doesn't bear
any movement or friction--beyond holding the end float of the
steering shaft (guess that's a 'load')--would ever leak. When we
rebuilt the BN2's box my dad didn't want to use any sealant because
he thought it might affect the end float of the steering shaft, but
agreed to use it when the box leaked. <br>
<br>
Leaking from the seal on the rocker shaft I understand, and I can
see how the olive might eventually allow leaking, but not a 'static'
plate.<br>

Possible leaking through the split in the washers.<br>

Had same issue with freshly-rebuilt box for our BN2;
drained box and applied gasket sealer between all the
shims. Guess I'll have to try that--was hoping for a
reprieve.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

My BJ8 is leaving a (larger than usual) oil spot
on the flattened cardboard box that serves as a
disposable drip pan and leak map. It appears to
be leaking at the 'cover' (Moss# 667-835), where
I know there is a shim pack and, possibly, a
gasket. I know throwing Penrite or STP in there
might lessen the leak, but I'm wondering why the
box would start leaking suddenly at a place that
doesn't experience any movement or wear?<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
