Yep. LOL Mine has 110,000 miles on it and it has never marked it's spot. My current crop of Brits all need diapers.
By the way, my comment about the leaks refers to useage in racing.
My race car has Speedi-Sleeves in both sides: still weeps a bit. And before that, I tried polishing the seal area a number of times but always got weeping. I've also tried the "mid-seal" method where an extra seal is pushed down into axle tube housing from the diff side to form a "pre-seal". Also got weeping.
I just think the design was never intended for all that high side-force sloshing. I've talked about this with lots of Spridget racers and I don't hear anyone claiming their rear brakes are bone dry (unless they cut off the outer ends of the axle housing and weld on the non-floating ends and custom axles).
One of my friends contends that in racing the best thing to do is to start with a really straight rear. Most of them are slightly bent. I've swapped out at least four housings, looking for the "best" one. There's a racer in Ohio who straightens them for about $150 and he claims this helps a lot.
