Re: question - preserving drive flanges

["Ewan Hopkins" <ewanhopkins@hotmail.com>]

There shouldn't be any problem with the flanges. You could, however, shorten 
the life of the inner CVs since, if oil is leaking thru the flange, into the 
CV, the grease will be thinned out and this will increase wear in the joint 
- I left mine leaking for a few months and when I finally fixed it, the CV 
contained 100% gear oil.
