I have a leak I can't seem to resolve where the torque tube meets the U-joint bell. I have a new gasket/packing and the two washers that sandwich it around the torque tube(shop manual, chap 4, fig 76)but I still get drips at the rear of the bell's screw-on retainer. The leak is at the gasket/packing and not from the retainer threads. The retainer is very tight. I'm using 80W-90 tranny oil. Is this leak just the nature of the beast?
