97 W/231 T-Case w/SYE (Hack-Tap)Leaking

Ok, Ive searched many threads and I had the rear seal replaced and still slinging fluid onto the Cat and smoking (MMM a good smell)

The shaft does have a little play in it on the "In and Out Motion". Nothing up/down or around.

The t-case had the RE Hack and Tap installed last year and and it was fine. After a long 2 day highway trip I did not notice anything and then next day after arriving I noticed it leaking.

So what is behind the rear tail shaft cone that would be causing the leak?

I want to pull the rear shaft cover off to see what the shaft looks like around where the seal is to see if it has any grooves in it.

Am I on the right track? Any ideas?

I will pick up another seal tomorrow since I have the yoke off and the shaft exposed again.

Thanks

Mac

Here is he splatter outline





As you can see the leakage coming out of the shaft between the seal
