44 year old seals will leak. I have replaced seals newer than that with
mixed success. The pinion seal on my TR6 leaked after a few months of
replacement. After several years I dropped the diff and installed a Speedi-Sleeve (R) on
the pinion and the leaked stopped. Even with the same seal that had been
leaking for the previous few years.
So, if your leak is the pinion I suggest a new seal AND a sleeve.
