Leak from speedometer cable - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've had a leaky New process MY6 or A833 since I got my 63. My guess is that must of come off of a 80's chevy truck. I got all the seals replaced but it was still leaking from the speedometer cable. The transmission shop said it just needs a new one because its suppose to have an O-ring in the cable. So I go to O'reily's and their cable is exactly the same as mine no O-ring. I completely forgot that I had taken the cable off but it stopped the leak! Does this seem right? I can live without the speedometer it wasn't accurate anyway. My question is are these particular cables suppose to have an O-ring? If so is it just a matter of getting a better one at NAPA?
