It is the Rotation of the Shaft in the Seal that creates the Friction. </p>That may be why it only Leaks when the Engine is not running. Apart from the Lip Seal wearing over the Years and Miles they do gradually Wear the surface of the Shaft. Also any misalignment or lack of concentricity between the Seal and the Shaft will contribute to Leakage.<br><br>Have you looked if there is a Double Lip Seal available in the correct size ?<br><br>Steve<br><br><br>------ Original Message ------<br>From: <span class="wt_Email">type3-vwtype3.org-request@lists.vwtype3.org</span><span></span><br>To: <span class="wt_Email">type3-vwtype3.org@lists.vwtype3.org</span><span></span><br>Sent: Tuesday, 10 May, 22 At 21:08<br>Subject: type3-vwtype3.org Digest, Vol 140, Issue 10<br><br>Send type3-vwtype3.org mailing list submissions to<br><span class="wt_Email">type3-vwtype3.org@lists.vwtype3.org</span><span></span><br><br>To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br>http://lists.vwtype3.org/listinfo.cgi/type3-vwtype3.org<br>or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br><span class="wt_Email">type3-vwtype3.org-request@lists.vwtype3.org</span><span></span><br><br>You can reach the person managing the list at<br><span class="wt_Email">type3-vwtype3.org-owner@lists.vwtype3.org</span><span></span><br><br>When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<br>than "Re: Contents of type3-vwtype3.org digest..."<br><br><br>***********************************<br>When replying to the digest, please remember to trim your message.
