Default Another name for a “Driveshaft Front Yoke Seal”?

A shop told me I need a “driveshaft front yoke (oem) seal. I looked for it on rock auto but couldn’t find it, what might another name be?
The problem is it’s leaking around the output seal but that was replaced twice.
Also, how easy is it to do if I find the right part?

Hey
it’s a 2wd. I believe that it’s had two rear output seals done and they moved onto what they called the yoke seal. But it does seem to be coming to it if the output seal

thanks

i can’t find a seal for it and it shifts perfect. Is it likely you’d use rtv to seal it?

ru referring to applying rtv to the back side of the slip yoke? would be hard to access without removing the ujoint from the yolk.

yeah it seems like there’s a metal cap on the end that can be the source of the leak. And the two options can be replace the whole yoke or seal the cap with rtv
