Where is the oil leaking from??? from the timing belt side, front, rear, or by the transmission side??? How many miles dose your car have too as well? If your car is leaking oil from and inbetween the transmission and engine most likely its the rear main seal.

i replaced all the "front" seals. (front of engine). for some reason it is still leaking oil. the timing belt gets full of oil

make sure your cam seals are seated properly...my seals werent seated right and they leaked all down the side of my motor...i kept wondering where the mess came from...

well i do think its the cam seals. the oil travels down through the engine and makes it look likeits coming from somewhere else. but this is the second time i change them. am i supposed to apply rtv or do anything diffrent?

Personally, I like to rub some kind of lubricant/sealant around any gasket/seal that i put on a car just to ensure a tight fit. You might hae to wind up takin it back off an putting something on it. You might also have a wrinkle in the seal or something dumb. Just be very careful if you decide to pull it back off to make sure its seated right the next time around. Good luck and keep us posted.
