[Mach.925]

OK - Problem solved. I received the OEM Porsche seals today. I took some photos of the obvious differences. The OEM seal has a double sealing lip and the elring has one. The OEM fitment on the shaft was slightly tighter than the elring. To be absolutely certain, I shortened the springs by about 3mm. Does not leak a drop. I've used the elring seals here before without issue, so there seems to be some quality control issues with the current batch at Pelican. It's obvious that the OEM seal design is far superior, so my recommendation is spend the extra $15 and forget about the elring in this application.
