Default Gotta gusher (again)

Just changed my oil this weekend. Now the old girl started losing her lifeblood (oil) like bad. Flame trap is clean and separator box is new. Did the timing belt and all corresponding seals upfront about six months ago. Now she's leaking as bad as before and it looks like it's coming from up front.
Any Ideas?

One of the new seals you put in likely didn't take, it happens, even without excessive pressure. Take off the front cover to see what's going on.

Yeah sounds plausible, just hoping to not do it for a third time.
Any idea if that crank seal is supposed to seat all the way flush? The one I removed wasn't and I could not for the life of me get the new one flush.
