I guess as long as you buy a new seal for it, it might not leak, but I would definitely have it installed by a professional... unless you're not worried about it leaking, that is.
a guy in the MD thread with me has done 3 and is helping me put it in. none of his have leaked. i consider him a pro now. i guess after sitting for a while theyd leak, but if i reinstall the whole thing in mine and reseal it like new it should ne fine.
