Hi all.

For an '88 Westy. Both blue "cap" seals at ID of each transmission drive
flange were leaking badly. One outright failed, the other was either
poorly installed or was pushed part way out due a possible clog
at transmission vent hole. Images of failed seals

http://tinyurl.com/ztkcwzc   I'm not sure what caused one seal to outright fail
but I have to wonder if the driveshaft was rubbing against it.

I see info in archives, and this detail may well be buried in there
somewhere but
looking at this image (ETKA type)

if seal 20 in image is failing, will it allow gear oil to get in
behind the blue "cap" seal at
ID of drive flange?

What does part 19 in image seal?

Thanks,

Neil.
