After finally getting my head gasket leak settled, I've found another leak. My new cam seal is dripping just a little bit. It was new in March when I put the engine in and I changed it again once when I had the head off to do the head gasket. My head gasket was pouring oil and I have it straightened out but I get the slightest drips from the new cam seal. It seems to be coming from where the actual cam touches the seal. If I'm understanding correctly the cam spins inside the stationary seal. What makes this seal work? Is there any tips or tricks to get this to seal better?
Obviously I can't use rtv or anything similar as the cam would just rip it out as it spins. I stole a pic from another thread since I didn't take any pics. Mine is leaking like this just not as bad.
