I have had an oil leak coming from my oil pump. I have already removed the timing belt and sprocket then replaced the seal once. Also, I put a little RTV on the sprocket and nut when I put it back together, but it still leaks.

I will be replacing my timing belt once again (the past two have had 150 miles on them, each.)

Everything is new. This motor has 300 miles on it. Its all mitsubishi OEM. I have done the Balance shaft elimination, but bored the oil filter housing. I dont know if its possible I just have too much pressure in the pump for some reason?

Anyone have any clue why this is happening?

Heres a picture of the leak (last time)
