This may be too long after the fact to be useful, but JIC : The only time
I've seen problems with this seal is when there is a groove worn into the
front pulley hub.  There is a thing called a "Speedi-Sleeve" available (got
mine through NAPA, but I think Moss sells them too) that restores the
surface.  If some light polishing with crocus cloth (or 300 grit abrasive
cloth) doesn't remove all the visible marks on the sealing surface, you
might consider installing a Speedi-Sleeve.  (About $35, but that was a few
years ago, they may be more by now.)
