The 5D11 was a one-year model and didn’t have the usual carbon seal assy. Just a “washer” as said n the parts book. Sorry, I don’t remember the composition or nature of the washer.
Due to the different exhaust housing design, water ingestion through the bearing probably was not a problem. I’d guess the “washer” is more to prevent exhaust from blowing out around the drive shaft (???)
