The weep hole between the trans and final drive will seep a bit quite
often. The duplex mirror seal that lives between the two cases, is hard to
find. Lot of times, two identical seals are fitted back to back on each
side of the weep hole. Field expediency. It will work in a pinch. But, some
seepage was allowable 40 plus years ago, when no one had white carpets on
the floors in their humidity controlled and air conditioned rv storage
facilities. You do have that, don't you?
