Hi everyone. My ride is a 350z in Japan. Nice to meet you.

Recently,I'm packing a NISMO LSD and TOMEI 3.9 gears into my 350z differential case.

Well,unfortunately, I accidentally scratched the contact surface of the oil seal while unpacking it.

Now I got two scratches on the surface,which drives me pretty mad..

I wonder whether the scratches will make any oil leak after I install the new oil seal.

Please leave a comment if anyone has the answer.

I will aprreciate it, thank you guys.

Greeting from Japan.





Here is a photo of this work and my car. This is my first post. It's nice to meet you.

 

It shouldn't. The seal seats against a lip in the housing. If you're concerned, put a little RTV on your finger and wipe a very thin layer over the scratch before pressing in the seal.
