    Greetings all,
      Just let me say, don't have a baby in the middle of a rebuild, I don't
    think I've even been in the garage for three weeks. Now if I could just get
    some sleep...
      On the Rover front, the last time I was in the garage I noticed a puddle
    under the swivel ball. I'm assuming the drain plug and washer were not the
    source of the leak. I have the tension set to 15lbs on the housing and the
    bolts in the steering levers and swivel pins all appear tight enough. So
    I'm left with the seal. On the driver's side I don't have a leak, but there
    is one on the passenger side.
      Now to the question (finally). What is the consensus for sealing the oil
    seal to the housing? I used the orange/copper Permatex stuff on the
    driver's side which seems to be holding out fine, but that might just be a
    fluke. What have you all used?
    Thanks in advance,
    Matthew
