Hi,

Check also for other causes of oil leak such as excessive crankcase pressure.

The FAQ is here. See comments by Don Foster:

Regarding seal installation, I use Elring cam seal from FCP. Lubricated the sealing surfaces with some engine oil and pushed it in using fingers until all sides flush with the front engine surface. No leak so far.

Regards,
Amarin.
