450 Case Final Drive Seal Leak

I have a 450 Case Crawler Loader , the right final is leaking oil out , my question is , does any one know if there is a sealer that can be added to stop leak . Thought I would ask , maybe something I haven't heard of . Hate to tear the final down .
 
is it leaking oil by the track sprocket? if so it is not a real seal but two rings of very hard steel push together by two rubber rings. if it's leaking replace it you will never stop it from leaking. you will have to brake track remove sprocket then under the machine on the back side of the planetary is a cap with 4 bolts ,remove cap and in side of the cap will be the axle at the end of the axle are 2 or 3 bolts remove bolts and axle will pull out gear will drop down a little but that is ok. when replacing the seal make sure things are CLEAN one grain of sand will take it out again and make sure the rubber rings are in the groves. very easy to do but it take two to put it back together
 
things that take the seal out is wire,rope,old carpet, or any thing that will wrap around the back side of the sprocket
 
Yes I know what you are saying , I am I guess too lazy to do that again . I did the left side two years ago . Hoping their was a super sealer that would seal those two seals . Thanks , I need the information you provided , like I said it has been two years since I replaced the seals on the left side . I keep calling those two rings seals , I know .
 
My experience is if the final drive seal is leaking there are more problems than just seals. Possible bearing problems. Probably best to open final up a take a look.
 
I do believe the wire from fence and burned building took out the seals , I try to keep the wire out but can not keep all out , I had Caterpillar equipment years ago , cat made a steel collar that wrapped around the seal area to keep wire from doing this . I am going to tear the final down this winner . Got to keep working for now .
