As for hydraulics, internals use orings and on the external casings on output shafts spring loaded seals are used.

Unfortunately it's not possible to make them that small otherwise they be perfect for the Durango.

The next best thing would be a slightly oversized standard seal with a deeper groove in it.

Mark you seem to think know better than everyone that's ever lived. Obviously you should a head designer of everything because manufactures of their own products are wrong.
im just challenging your claim that all seals on rotating parts leak!! the sentance of yours i high lighted in bold!
