ok when you install the tail cover you push it around the shaft and there you have to be very carefull to not bend the lip of the seal to the outside or scar it. I suggest you remove the tail cover and check the seal lip condition, if it's good and the spring is tight aroud it give it another try and be sure you don't reverse the lip orientation.
