Thread: Oil leak near lower area of belt

I to had a leak from the front main seal so I replaced with one from Timkin and now its leaking 10 times worse then before, I know I got it in there and flush with the block and I cleaned that area before installing it so what gives? I'm so confused I really don't want to take all that back off due to it being a major pita. Please help me.

OK sorry, it took so long to get back to you guys on this, I replaced that piece of junk Timkin with a Genuine GM Part from the local dealer and its still leaking, not anywhere near as bad as it was with the timkin but its still dripping, I'm almost willing to bet it has a lot to do with the mileage the car has around 200,600 miles or so on the clock. Any ideas? Also it feels like the car has absolutly no balls at all when I get on it.
