<VV> Main Seal

[Paul Fox]

 Your local auto parts store carries a number of seal softeners on the shelf. I don't know which is best. I rarely use that sort of thing.

 I assume you have a leak and want the seal to swell a little and stop the leak.  The old school thing to use was a few ounces of brake fluid, it would help condition the seals - but this generally only worked on a seal that had hardened from age.  If it's a newly installed seal I doubt it would help but it shouldn't make anything worse.
