Yes still going. Haven’t had time to pull it apart and mic everythingStill got the drip? Maybe the flange bore isn't concentric?
Definitely coming around the seal and not the threads though

It's been a while since I have been in a 205, but in the 208, there's a bushing next to the seal to keep the shaft from moving too much, when you change the seal you need to change the bushing or the seal leak shortly after.Kicking this thread back to the top now that the truck is running again, I can take it apart
Plan as follows:
Going to look to see if I can find some specs on the roller bearings in there. Figure if I pull it, I might as well mic those for S & Gs
Really don't feel like pulling the drive shaft several times to "test" so I'll likely just replace the seal retainer while its apart, possibly look at new roller bearings and bushing while its on the bench.
The whole case will come out this time, I need to drop the whole case to pull the exhaust to do some repairs
I have done that, it did still leak.It's been a while since I have been in a 205, but in the 208, there's a bushing next to the seal to keep the shaft from moving too much, when you change the seal you need to change the bushing or the seal leak shortly after.
Being that the output bearing is close to the seal there might not be a bushing there in which case you need to change the roller bearing.
New drive flange from woods
Used case an innards. New bearings and seals all the way around. The roller bearings and bushings were not replaced.
I only said that because you said you didn't.I have done that, it did still leak.
But I will update this again soon. I have parts enroute and will do some measurements and such when I go through it
The roller bearing and bushing on a 205 are behind the main bearing on the outputI only said that because you said you didn't.
