Re: Seal spring unaccounted for

[GModelle@domain.elided]

Esteemed Digesti,
Having coaxed out the rear axle seal, I was to discover that the seal was 
deformed when installed, and had no circular spring inside it, where such a 
spring should be. Now if my suspicions are valid, the spring was dislodged 
when the seal was replaced and is now who-knows-where.

I removed the differential sump, but there were no traces of anything.

Has anyone run into anything like this? Should I be freaked out by this?
