Robert,
I had my engine (948) out three times in two months after its rebuild. It kept
leaking by the oil pump. Used permatex and it still leaked. An engineer friend
came and took a look. He felt that the cap on the backing  plate didn't line
up over the pump opening. We heated the edges up and slid it so it was
centered over the oil pump. Now theres only a slight leak from the rear seal
after six years of driving.
