New rear main seal leaks...

[Freddie's Buick]

Anyone understand how to install the split-lip type rear main seal or has done this before?

The instructions say install the grooved end toward the front of the engine. I followed the instuctions to the letter. After turning the car on it leaked. I took it out packed it with a little more silicone sealer and it still leaks!

It is'nt the end cap seals since there is no trace of oil residue. The oil residue is coming from the seal!

I'm going to install it so the lip faces the back of the engine and see if that helps.....any ideas folks?

Alright, so after trying that I yielded negative results. I still have leakage. Someone told me I had it right the first time.

My oil pressure stands at 50 Lbs @ 950 RPM's idle. Would the additionl pressure cause leakage?
