oil leak

[83ttypecooled]

Hi Guys,
I installed the neoprene rear crank seal a while back, and it did well for a while. Now I am having pretty heavy leakage from the same area. I think it could be the pan gasket, hard to tell. I have heard about using a thicker cork composite gasket in place of the silicone original. What do you folks think? Thanks.

You sure it's not the back of the intake? Mine runs down the back of the block and collects in the torque converter cover. Makes it look like the rear seal.
