I have a question. My TR3, for a variety of reasons, ended up sitting for about three + years, some of you may recall I did a fairly extensive posting on my build a few years ago but then dropped off the board. Anyway things are back on track and now I’m ready to do the first shake down drive.
When the car was put away, it had a brand new pinion/differential seal. But over time differential fluid leaked out from the front pinion seal. My first inclination was to pull it out and replace it. But then I got thinking, maybe if I refill the differential seal it will seal itself just by finally using the car. Maybe just the sitting caused it to leak? I did a check of the other threads - lots of info on replacing the seal but nothing on this topic.
Am I dreaming or could this be a possibility? I get it that it may weap a bit, I can live with that.
Thanks in advance, luke-44
