Warren,
I thought something similar at first but then I thought about it some more and reconsidered. Since this is a seal, some part of the seal lip should be dry. I.e. The oil won't reach the outside of the seal (unless the seal leaks) so part of the seal might remain dry even though pressurized oil was only 1mm away. Does that make sense? Or does a seal initially leak a small amount until the oil pressure obturates/expands the seal?
Inquiring minds want to know...
