Need a quick answer guys.

Ok guys, ya'll always come through for me on my random cockimanee questions. So now I got a new one for you guys. And I need it answered in a few hours.

Me and my brother have been woking on his '92 Dodge Dakota, replacing a front seal on the automatic transmission. When he put the new seal in, he put transmission fluid on the inside of the seal, but, he also put a light coating on the outside metal part of the seal. Is that ok? Will it still seal? After all the $h@t this truck has put us through just to drop the tranny, we really don't want to go through the trouble of dropping it again cause we fu$%ed up.

Thanks in advance guys, I can always count on your wisdom!
