A slip type driveline assembly with a one piece sealing member to prevent loss and contamination of lubricant. The slip type assembly is generally of a sliding spline design. A spline plug is fitted into a slip yoke with an internal spline that generally mates with the external spline of the spline plug. A tube and weld yoke assembly is generally pressure fit and welded to the spline plug. Universal joint assemblies are attached to each yoke completing the assembly. The splined cavity within the slip yoke generally contains lubricants and is sealed by a plug and a seal which keeps the lubricants in and contaminants out. The sealing member is made of a resilient material and is of one piece construction. The sealing member has a cylindrical wall and integral radially inwardly extending circumferential annulus. The wall and annulus generally complement and mate with the cylindrical end of the slip yoke that has a groove on its surface to receive the annulus.
