Front crank seal

1982 gl1100 standard. Honda no longer has the front crank seal available. I've put 2 aftermarket seals in now, both have leaked. Any suggestions?

Is the mating surface of the crank in excellent shape? Does the shaft run true? (not bent or wobble at all) Are you careful when you install the seal so you do not damage it? Do you have the right seal? (right dimensions and designed for the correct direction of rotation)

This could be a stupid question. But, are you sure it's coming from the crank seal and not the cam seals? They both end up with oil in the belt case.


Edit: See, stupid question.

No question is stupid. I am sure because I out fluorescent dye in the oil. I replaced the cam seals and resealed a plug on the right side. It was the crank for sure. Just needed a honda seal.
