yeah i was told that before, but i was also told and i can tell that the scorr mark isnt where the seal sitts on the shaft so something else made that mark plus the seal doesnt cover a half inch long on the shaft, so i dont know w.t.f. now, or why it leaked so bad

generally speaking... in the automotive work.. if you shake something, and it makes noise... its usually a bad thing
