It sure can. A leaking right hand crank seal is about the only way though.

You replaced the counter shaft seal and its leaking? What about the oring and collar behind the sprocket? Placing the collar backwards? Vintage Bob

Oring first? Does the collar go in only 1 way? You did a replace the collar? Is there play between the sprocket and clip? Vintage Bob
