There are times when I get myself quite worked up and now is one of those times so sorry for this stupid question. I changed my drive shaft oil seal in August and it is leaking again.

Diesel engine I should add

The oil seal is item 5 at Rimmers web site
https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID001994

I think I fitted the seal that's £15.60 the top one of the number 5's
Shall I bite the bullet and fit the £20.40 one this time?

I can see from enlarging the pictures there is a difference in the seal.

This is quite an easy job to do but why oh why is the seal leaking again? It looks square in the housing.

My wife could be having her hair done, nails done and help me remove the drive shaft on the same day........ love is
