A seal-off mechanism for preventing migration of working fluid along a turbine shaft which includes a floating seal ring and a shaft shoulder. The seal ring is spring biased against the shaft shoulder. During turbine operation, a pressurized fluid moves the ring away from the shoulder. The pressurized fluid then flows toward the turbine to contain the working fluid. A chamber collects the pressurized fluid and the working fluid for subsequent separation and reuse.
