Gary ,
 You only took care of the secondary seal in the design . If the pinion 
seal was replaced ,you would have solved it at the root cause .
The  cable seals are just that . They are used to keep the cable and 
housing interior clean and uncontaminated .
Pinion seals are available as a new part .The Tach and Speedo cable 
housing seals are Not available as an individual replacement part from 
Nissan .
Remove your Tach cable end  from the stand and tell me there isn't any 
oil in the housing there now .

  So , Cap it with what ?
