I have found that if you are careful and use the kits that come with quality gasket kits, rear seals can be leak free as well. I did have a few leaker back when I thought I knew better than the gasket manufacturersa.
Amen to that!

No reason whatsoever to use the "modern" seal. The ropes will outlast anything else.
