It does not really tackle the root cause of the problem; the O-ring works its way into the aluminium housing over time. This is why this bore is lined with steel.

It's not the o-ring. It's that end of the intermediate shaft is not positively supported. It just rests in a soft, aluminium bore. The steel shaft slowly frets away and hollows out the case. The steel repair sleeve is an interference fit so it doesn't fret away at the aluminium case.

I'd still use sealer on that.
