2 crank seals and still leaking a little bit

[RickyIac]

just recently did a Cylinder hear install on a 90 GS-T, i put in the Crank seal after lubing it with oil and it leaked a little bit, like dripping, its not a lot but someone said let the seal set i tself and it will stop, well, it didnt, so i put in another one thinknig maybe i ####ed up the first one, and it still leaks little drips, what can i Do to stop this

1000 new seals won't help you at all if there is a groove worn into the crank snub itself.

Yep, thinking on the same - did a crank seal on a 1.8L and it still has a light leak.

I pulled that seal out and felt the front of the crankshaft and did feel a very slight groove - knowing that I'm definitely toast in sealing up this slight drip.

Just gonna have to live with it for that's a crank replacement in order...
