A remotely actuated packing follower for compacting the packing in a base and base extension situated around a rotatable or longitudinally pulsatable shaft exiting a structure. The remotely actuated packing follower comprises a piston slidably and sealingly mounted within a housing and a packing follower cap sealingly attached to the top of the housing. The packing follower cap has a channel for fluid from a remote source to flow from a hose attached to the channel. The piston, housing, and packing follower cap create a chamber. When sufficient fluid flows into the chamber, it pushes the piston away from the packing follower cap so that the bottom of the piston can push against the packing. An inner channel in the piston accommodates the shaft. Either the remotely actuated packing follower or a traditional anti-leak fitting is optional constructed of releasably connectable sections.
