I replaced both seals, and after taking it for a quick drive(2 miles?) and letting it idle for a long while, I checked, and there was a tiny bit of oil(forming a drop) on the edge of the plastic vent piece..

I inserted them correctly, using grease on the crank seal like I was supposed to and using the old seal to push it in nice and straight..

Is it normal to leak a bit at first or what?

This is REALLY starting to **** me off..

mine has not leaked anything, and now i have about 2k on the seals. you may want to take everything apart and let the motor run so you can see everything, and find where the leak is starting.
