I been having an annoying oil leak that I tracked down to be the rear main seal (weeping slightly) only while running. I initially thought it was the oil pan gasket so I redid that but still was weeping. I believe I installed the rear main seal wrong due to it riding on the knurled part of the crank shaft (see pic). If i flip the seal around the lip of the seal appears to not ride in the knurled part. My question is did i still install it correctly initially or do I have to reverse it from how it is currently installed when i pull the crank (lip riding toward flywheel side). This is a fresh rebuild with less than 800 miles and wasn't leaking except for the last 50 miles roughly.
