Seal Symptoms

	Very likely cause; matches most or all symptoms and conditions.
	High likelihood; matches several key symptoms.
	Plausible condition; partial symptom overlap or missing context.
	Less likely; only loosely correlated or based on generic symptoms.
	Rare condition or poor alignment with inputs; needs more data.

Understanding Your Results

Match strength shows how closely your selected symptoms align with known failure modes in sealing applications. It does not guarantee that the identified condition is the cause.

Some of the conditions shown may be rare in your specific application, but are still technically possible. Think of this as a diagnostic aid — not a replacement for expert review.

For a more accurate diagnosis:

Inspect the seal and gland area closely
Review temperature, media, and duty cycle history
Consider sending photos or data to ESP Engineering for evaluation
