I replaced the oil pan gasket and timing cover gasket, as well as the timing seals on the timing cover. Well, I got the car back together and ran it to make sure I had no leaks, but sure enough, I had an oil leak out of one of the seals on the timing cover. Since I couldn't tell if it was coming from the crankshaft damper or a seal higher up, I took everything off again to take a look. Low and behold it was the optispark driveshaft seal on the timing cover. So, I put in a new seal with the timing cover still on the car using a socket and a hammer. I tapped the seal in to where it was flush with the timing cover surface. Well, I put it back together and ran it for a couple days, and now I notice a small oil spot in my garage. I got under the car today, and sure enough it looks like that same seal is leaking again. I won't know for sure until I tear everything back off again, but I would almost bet it's the culprit.

I don't understand what the heck I am doing wrong!!! I am using a Fel-pro seal from the Fel-pro timing cover set. I put the seal into the timing cover using a socket and a hammer. I don't know if I'm not getting the seal in there centered exactly right or what is going on. I also put a little grease around the seal before I put the optispark driveshaft into the timing cover.

Also, the first time I put it all back together I had a new optispark and optispark driveshaft put on, which was the original reason I had the car apart. Then I saw the oil leaks around the timing cover and seals and oil pan, so I decided to change them. That's how I got into this.

PLEASE!!! Any insight on this would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
