Dan Kling put me onto something. He suggested the leak could also be
between the seal and the bore in the transmission case. Turns out, he was
right. I cleaned the area this morning and watched carefully to see where
the oil was coming from. It was seeping out between the seal and the case.
When I removed the seal, I noticed right away, a scratch (gouge) in the
steel portion of the seal. I could see the corresponding culprit in the
case. It looks like there might have been some crud or corrosion on the
seal when I inserted it in the case and it was sufficient to cause the
gouge. I guess I should have paid more attention to the seal, even though
it was new.
