Sorry to have to tell you this "Mart", but I'm afraid that seal will probably leak badly. I was very careful when I put the new rear seal in my current build, and it did not leak a drop. This is the engine I originally put the "Low Output" Speedway oil pump in, that I replaced after about a month. I was extremely careful removing and replacing the pan, but the damn thing now leaks, not bad but it leaks. I can't imagine what it might be like with an old hard seal that had been in a long time.

Of course, now that I've posted this, yours will probably seal up tight.
