99% sure that's the leak I'm going to see when I drop my engine. Rebuilt it a year ago or so and have oil in that same area on the outer part. I was really careful about the installation too. IIRC the seal should have been slightly "proud" of the surface, which mine was. Maybe this time I'll put it flush. I also recall checking and confirming the inside was very smooth and no grooves or surface nicks so I thought it was seating against a good surface.
What I don't get it how does all that oil get up on the sides, outside the enclosed area where the seal is.
