If your driveshaft is extending when you pump in lube, it's building internal pressure, not oozing out the end. What do you think is going to happen when you compress the suspension and the driveshaft isn't able to compress? I just had my driveshaft apart, I don't like it. There's a nice air pocket in the end that can compress nicely if you don't fill it with grease. If you do, all bets are off. In that thread Christo, C-Dan, and IdahoDoug all express concern about this. Doug and LandToy80 are convinced their T-cases were damaged by this. These are some of the most knowledgeable Landcruiser guys there are, about the closest thing to gospel you're going to find on this subject.

Good job noticing and questioning this whole topic, I didn't think anything about it 'till these guys started debating it.
