It is impossible to install the scroll seal backwards.

Here is my real question after running for about 20 minutes with varying engine speed, I noticed that about a quart and a half of oil decided it didn't wish to stay in the engine any longer and was being deposited on the driveway by way of the hole in the bottom of the transmission. What happened here? What should I check?</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">By the way, the engine is running 11.5 :1 compression and all so high compression. It sounded spectacular.
