I have a two speed transmission that is 90 weight oil filled that even with new seals, leaks around the seals. The shafts are not the problem. The movement of the shafts side to side cause the oil to weep out. The shafts have to move in order to change gears.
I've seen there are fluids you can add to the oil to swell the seals.
Do these fluids work?
Would going to a still thicker oil help slow the leaks?
Would going to a grease be a better idea? or would the gears starve for lubricant?
I've added a "high cling" oil but it did not help.
