The only leak was where the the speedo cable goes into the box. Some O-rings in the right place fixed that.
I too would think a good o-ring would solve that. As for the difference in oil, the guy I spoke to yesterday said the TKO500 & 600 gears are cut with a slight rounding of the edges to make them less noisy than the 3550.

I'm going to switch back to the Redline C+ that was in there before and see what happens. If there's a leak, I'll try the o-ring (I have about 50 of various sizes around the shop) and let you know, if you don't beat me to it.
