Persistent oil leak from camshaft seal

[xschris]

It don't take much I have done three of these without having to tap them into place. When you set the seal on the cam and put the cover on it should not need any other adjustments. The cover will press the seal into the seat. If it gets moved even a little it could get a small rip on the outside of it or twist it. Remember the seal is going between to halves and not into a perfect circle.
