Inspect and verify that the suspected leak is originating from the right driveshaft extension seal (Figure 1). When the leak is verified to be in the oil seal
area, do the following inspection and repair.

The cause of the leak may not be due to a defective seal. The leak may be caused by failure of the driveshaft housing bushing due to poor microfinish of
the bushing contact surface of the inner driveshaft housing.
