Is your problem an oil leak?? If it is, it's probly not your rear main but instead the intake gasket. It looks like the rear main is leaking when really most of the time it's the intake where the RTV is on the the back. The factory used some crappy RTV and they almost ALL leak.

Sounds like you need to try another shop if the seal is not staying put. They are either using the wrong seal or doing something wrong. There isn't that much there to mess up. The only other thing I can think of is if the rear main seal housing was cracked and not holding the seal in.
You don't have any crankcase venting modifications, do you?
