Extension Housing Leak

A lot of oil leaks from the rear seal I put a new seal in but still leaking.
The yoke is badly scored could this be the reason? 
Has the brass bush  got anything to do with sealing?
Should I look for another yoke.
Sleeve the existing one (possible?)
Build up and machine existing?
Does the Rare Spares gasket kit have all the gaskets required?
Any advice appreciated

Nick,

If the yoke is scored it will be nearly impossible to seal, try for another ext housing with a good bush in it and another yoke. This would be the cheaper way to go. If you are really fussy, you could try and find a NOS bush or have one made. You would also need to have the yoke built up and machined down to suit. This would guarantee no leaking and the absolute best way to do it, but wouldn't be cheap.

There is a thing called "speed sleeve" ??  which slips over the yoke to give a new surface.
Just a thin metal tube.
Check out some engineering suppliers.

The yoke has a welsh plug which is fitted after machining the spline, it is under the universal, you will need to check to see if it is  still there.
