Answer to Question 1

A small leakage is necessary to assist in lubrication and to cool the shaft to ensure maximum wear.

Answer to Question 2

Gasket failure is typically a result of installation mistakes, damaged gasket or surface, dirt or contaminants, incorrect gasket materials for your application, and sometimes poor design
