Hmm I don't know. The tail shaft of my th400 moves plenty without the yoke slipped in obviously but with the driveshaft/slip yoke installed I have very little movement, its pretty much solid.
So to me if you are saying it moves around what you feel is "Plenty of movement" that sounds wrong to me? And there shouldn't be any drips at all imo.
I hope you figure this out. It was one thing I was worried about with my car but thankfully so far mine is good. I've had it up to about 90 so far and it seems to only get smoother the faster I get, smooth as glass. You will get there too.
