jim, i have a question for you. i have a 65 olds dynamic 88 convertable with 425 motor. i recently replaced the rear pinion seal on the rear end because it was leaking. the seal was hard to come by for this car. i dont know if the rear end in these were special or what but the local parts stores did not have a seal for it. i did find one and replaced it. the one i tool out had a small lip around it that seated up against the outer housing of the pinion. the new seal did not have that lip but was the same size in dia. the new one was an actual gm seal for it. a guy told me to put it in the freezer so it would contract making it easier to put in and when it warmed up it would expand. so thats what i did. before i put it in a smeared a little grease around it to make it easier to put in. so after it was in and all said and done and the new seal was in. i ran it up and down the driveway and put it away. couple days later i noticed its leaking again. any ideas did i do something wrong? thanks chris
