Default 2 piece rear main....

I've changed it twice and still drip, drip ,drip ,drip, It did not leak this bad till I changed it!
I don't get it! second time I took my time and it's not as bad this time but I want it to go away.
Anybody got any experience with these?

Edit: btw I did put it in the right direction and used the tool that came with it to prevent damage.

Did you RTV the two sides of the bearing cap and seal? And did you put soap on the outer edge of the top portion?

Nevermind. It was just left over residue in the bell housing getting blown around.
I took it for a long ride and kept an eye on it. And it went away.
