Front Seal Problem

Hi,

I have a 1993 mazda MX-3 with the 1.6 liter. The front crankshaft seal was leaking so I replaced it. Even with the new one after lubricating it and installing it properly it is still leaking right after I installed it. Has anyone else had a problem with this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Mike

found the problem the previous owner AKA idiot put the timimg belt tensioner on wrong and the pulley wore into the oil pump causing it to leak. they had put epoxy over it. Nice real nice.
