Default Moser 12 bolt leaking question

I have just had a 12 Bolt Moser installed on my 2000 Ta. It seems like it is leaking from the front seal of the 12 bolt rear. oil on the exhaust in that area. Has anyone else experienced this problem. Ths shop that installed the rear says that the Moser rear is known to leak from there. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks

No, it is not normal. Give whoever you purchased the rear have Moser send out a new seal. Bob

I had the same problem with mine and it turned out to be a small hole in the case. I called Moser to get a new seal and they told me to check for porosity in the case. I found the hole and had to send the rear back to them.

here is the pic

Yes it was shipped that way. I installed it then came back the next day and saw that it was leaking. I had to take it back out and return it.
