After reading all the FAQs on oil leak on magneto side I bought 2 new seals and installed them by tapping them with a socket. I did have to put a little grease on the seals to get them in. That is probably my downfall. Anyway, it still leaks on the magneto side. Is there anything else that could cause this leak?
 
worn seal chews shaft kills bearing surface, forever leaky...

the smallest imperfection on the crankshaft, no seal will ever seal on it :(

is it sealing enough to run and only the smallest of dribbles? then dont worry.
 
you wont know yourself when the time comes! and then youll have to drain oil constantly lol! bleeding 4strokes...why cant the be dry sumped?
