Default Does your Strange 12 bolt leak

like a seive from the pinion seal. Ever since I bought my rear brand new the pinion seal has leaked. It has been replaced greased and re-installed and still leaks.

Find a auto parts supplier that carries 'Timken' seals. They are about $12.00. This is the only seal I use with the KTRE housings (which both Strange and Moser use). These housing are known for pin seal leaks........

Just make sure that the seal surface is spotlless (use brake cleaner) and use a quality sealant...... and then let it cure for about or at least an hour before driving.

Yep, leaks here too. It seems sporadic tho and only a few drops. Is there a write-up anywhere for replacing the seal?

mine leaked too. It took a couple tries and now it is fine. How old is yours? I think strange change the seal about 2 years ago to improve it.
