Neil,
Leaking axle seals are often caused by spun bearings. Use of too-thick Moss
cardboard gaskets causes bearing to be insufficiently gripped (as specified
in the manual). Heat from spun bearing causes seal to leak. Therefore
replacing the seal is not sufficient unless you correct the gasket / spun
bearing situation.

Subject: [Healeys] Leaking Rear Hub Flange
A lot of list chatter about how to stop oil leaks at the rear hub flange by
replacing the paper gasket or using goo of some sort. Am I right in
thinking that fitting a new oil seal inboard of the wheel bearing makes
this issue redundant, or is this not necessarily the case?
