I am trying to finally finish up my secondary shaft bearing replacement and now fear that I have pushed in the rear oil seal on the back of the tail shaft in too far. It is only a few mils but I am not sure exactly how to interpret the service manual range. Will this leak?

When I replaced my output shaft oil seal (gearbox on car) last year I also inserted mine a bit too far, even though I was careful to tap it in bit by bit and measuring every time I still pushed it in about 1-2mm too far.
It has been fine however no leaks or issues

Thanks for the input....its good to know there is a margin for error with these. I chickened out and just ordered the new seal and will have to be without the car another weekend.
