Sorry to reopen this, but have this same leak in my BJ8 OD and fixing it =
is one of my Winter projects.
Given that the black sealant stuff that was used before didn=92t last =
(have no idea how long ago or what it is) and that there is no oil =
pressure on the joint, am sensitive to using what is the appropriate goo =
that will last and contain the oil.
Have done some checking around and the Hylomar universal blue is used by =
some shops that fix OD=92s.
Overdrive Services (ex Laycock people in UK) tell me that the originals =
were sealed with a product called Wellseal.
Nowadays they use a Wurth sealant that mentions flange mating in its =
website blurb.
BTW they said that they could supply me with a gasket for this joint =
that seems like a good idea ?

The reality is that these are 2 Al flanges that are mated without a =
gasket. I wonder why ?. Plan to do some careful flatness checking when =
have my hands on them.  Has anyone had a problem with the mating =
flatness ?  do they have a tendency to warp over the years and maybe =
abuse too ? given the shape not easy to machine flat - why do they leak =
?

Comments/ideas please.

seems like any RTV that is oil compliant will work. There is no internal =
pressure that will force oil out. The oil level in the OD is just above =
the operating shaft level, hence the need for the o-rings on the shaft.
