Dale - Hurst has a re-engineered the Blackjack shifter with a seal and it should be available in February.
In the forward mount position (for stock console fitment) the Hurst and White Lightning will leak, the later being the worst in my testing.
Mounting in the rear position either will weep a little but not enough to make a drip in 5k miles or so IMO.
The rear position is better proximity to the steering wheel for track use but you can't retain the stock console insert. I fabbed a sheet metal console plate until the new shifter is released.
You're going to love that trans it's a major addition to the car. When reading your build thread this morning I was thinking all that car needs is a close ratio T56 mag and possibly a Watts link.
