    Thank for the replies. I only ask because I was taught to install oil seals considering the pressures from one side of the housing to the other. The spring side, or convex side, goes facing the higher pressure. I am unsure weather the high pressure here is from the inside of the housing , or outside because of the slight water pressure at such a small depth. As Frank said we are most likely worried about just a few drops of water that we should not be worried about. The real answer would probably be to get the OME seal. I was just wondering if there was something I was not considering. Like I said ,, I trust Frank , spring facing the oil.
