<VV> Viton main seals- any problems?

[shortle]

Yes, on my '62 Monza Wagon with 4 speed. After driving it leaks out the size of a baseball from the bell housing. I am getting ready to "redo" the job. What are you calling the main seals (bell housing, at the crankshaft pulley, or?)?. I'll post my findings and hopefully positive results soon.
