The internal hose is quite well protected and are often in great shape unless there has been severe internal leakage. But worth checking.

Yeah, from what I've seen a $10,000 USD bathtub sedan ought to be driving and without a litany of cosmetic issues like this one.
I think I've seen that green coupe before. Shouldn't it have wood graining over the full interior?

Did you actually reinstall it yet? Whenever I've used the rebuild kits the shaft always seemed extremely tight in the seal but always worked fine when installed.

Looks like there's good replacements around but if you really want it exactly the original length you can always get one made quite inexpensively at a local hydraulics shop.

Also a great way to send little chunks of metal into your valves and piston rings. Free honing job I suppose

Looks like it is now listed for $9500? Seems somewhat steep for the condition if so. I missed one last year that was in far better shape for $10,500 CAD.

You may find this old thread useful: "1929 640 Rear Pinion Seal"
There's an oil slinger on the back of the seal which should deflect the majority of oil. It seems that the felt seal is the only real seal on the Pinion but it should not be exposed to excessive volumes of oil when everything is operating normally.
