***Update from below***
I took all my vacuum lines that are related to turbo and flame trap and were all clean and free to move air. Could I be developing pressure somewhere else in the engine that is pushing oil through the front seals? The intermiate shaft has very slight amount of play. And this is a sudden problem. I changed oil month and half ago and the engine was clean.

Thanks for your help.

I have a '88 740 turbo with a '94 turbo engine in it. Recently I have developed a oil leak coming from lower timing belt cover. I replaced the Crank, intermiate, and Cam seal. Intermiate seemed to be problem but replaced 3 because of accessiblity. And checked today and still have leak coming from same area. I unlocked the oil filler cap and started engine and cap does not move indicating no blow-by. I am not sure what else could be leakin or what could be causing. Has anyone else experienced or worked on such a problem.
Thanks,

Perplexed in Pittsurgh (Matt)
