Pinion Seals are ******* annoying! So ever since I have had my Moser 12 bolt I have had nothing but problems with it. (Dont bother telling me to go talk to Moser because we all know they wont do **** about their problems.)
Anyway while having the backlash and gear tooth pattern corrected I had the pinion seal replaced because it leaked like crazy. Well finally after getting the rear end back in and 40 miles later the new pinion seal is leaking. This is the second pinion seal from Moser that is leaking.
So are there any opinions on this because this is really starting to **** me off that I have to baby this ******* rear end that I bought to drive on.

this may be something that some people advise against. but i rebuilt an astro van twice with the same issue. after two or three days the customer would come back with that dam pinion leaking. come to find out that we set it up correctly. Pinon bearing preload and so on. we found the housing had a little bit of a burr in it which caused a leak. pulled the old seal got a new one and added a little silicone around the outter edge where it presses into the houseing. no more leaks and the customer was happy. just one thing to try. also just make sure that pinion bearing pre-load is correct.
