I replaced the rear seal with a National  Oil Seal # 472179.  This is a
Buna-N rubber seal and lasts me about 300 hours per seal.  I have no idea
why the Viton seal leaked on my Ross drive.  You really should get the
return point down below the drive though.

 Hard to say....   I have my Ross drive which was rebuilt with new gears &
bearings  for sale (advertised on my website) for about 1/2 what I paid and
not had any takers.  Doesn't seem to be a big market for them.

Glad to hear you got your EFI problem ironed out Ed   Hope to see you at Sun
'n Fun.
