I apologize for being late to the party.

I recondition these boxes on a regular basis, so I'd keep my eye on the box. Once the seals start breaking down (especially at this age) they'll continue to break down. That doesn't mean you might not get years more service without trouble, but it doesn't guarantee the other seals might not be failing.


Whatever you do, don't use fluid with stop leak additives in it. Its a short term fix that will weaken the seals.
