I've personally resealed my rack two years ago, three times in a span of a month because it keeps leaking from the end seals on first fill up & pressurized. I bought 3 sets of seals just to replace the end seals thinking maybe it was faulty. The third time didn't seal so I gave up and ran it leaking on the driver side end, but after 200 miles or so of driving and topping off with ATF, it stopped leaking. I'm guessing the ATF swelled the seal as well as the heat in the system contributed to it sealing as well. Either way, present day it still isn't leaking. No idea if you want to play Russian roulette with another rack but to be frank, rack removal takes less than an hour so I wouldn't mind trying one out.
