what kind of seals you buyin. oem are the best from what i hear. are you pushing it in so far that it is contacting the bearing? that will cause a leak

no i really dont like the 15 letter minumum thingy

what kind of seals are you buying? is it leaking around where the seal meets the crank, or where the seal meets the case?

its coming between the seal and the case into the flywheel area

If it's NOT leaking at the seal lip (crank surface) you can glue it in with almost any kind of sealer, rtv, yamamabond, etc. (just a light coat!)
