I just put some silicone on the outside of the seal to make sure it had a good
seal. As you said probably not necc., but I thought it wouldn't hurt either.
Yep, have it in the right way. I think Rich may have the solution to re
condition the pulley surface or maybe even to sleeve it (or find a real good
one to replace it). The surface didn't appear bad, but it seems like the only
logical solution.

One more thought. I hate to suggest this but is there any chance you installed
the seal the wrong way around? The lip should be toward the inside.

If you put silicone sealant around the seal lip to pulley joint it probably
won't do any harm, although it could possibly interfere with the rubber lip
seating properly. It sure won't do any good. If you put it around the outside
of the seal housing before installing it in the timing cover it might do a
minor amount of good, but should not be necessary.
If you have the original crankcase breather system installed & functioning as
designed, you should not have any positive pressure buildup in the crankcase
to force oil out the seal.
Are you sure it is the seal leaking & not the timing cover joint?

I was careful to make sure the seal was centered by installing three bolts
ery loose and installing the pulley to center the whole cover. Now I did
ave gasket sealer on both sides of the timing cover gasket, and maybe it
ould have inhibited the centering, but I was as careful as I could be.
nugged the three bolt and then installed the rest. It wasn't real easy to do
ith the engine in the car. I even put a small amount of silicone sealant
round the oil seal.
I am just at a loss to why it is still leaking. That is why I think it could
e a pressure thing. Just not sure.
