That wasn't my intent, rather to see if it was loose thus causing the weep. The only negative to turning it that I've read is the wheel not re-centering which it still does.

My solution was to wrap it with a few layers of oil absorbent mat.
I don't know about Nissan's. But on some racks that I have messed with. There is an o-ring behind it. Others had sealant.
