Speedo pinion adapter leak

[70runner]

As shown in pic, leaks between metal housing at end of cable and cable. Everything else seems dry. Is this an inner seal issue?

Yes it is, there should be no fluid inside the cable. Odd that it doesn’t come out anyplace else.

Seemed odd to me also, that's why I posted.

unscrew your speedo cable, pull it off. You need to unbolt the speedo adapter from the transmission and remove the gear. You will see a small clip and o ring on the cable side. The O ring needs to be replaced to stop your leak

It is a seal ring below the clip inside the bore. The outside of the housing has an o ring.

Edit service manual photo added. It’s not an o ring it is a seal. I’ve changed hundreds them.

here is a old housing showing the clip and O ring

I have the same issue but I replaced the seal and it still leaks very badly
Any ideas

I've been told to stack 2 seals in there. Anybody else do that?

Hi Hunt2Elk

I thought mine was still leaking after replacement the past couple days, but determined it was actually the fluid still coming out of the cable housing!!

Hi Hunt2elk:

Ordered a new pinion assy from Brewers.
