I recently replaced my oil seal behind the variator with a NGK GY6 seal and cleaned up the area around the variator. After riding for a few hours, I stopped and removed the CVT cover to find oil leaking near the same area. I made sure the seal is the correct size, is in perfect condition, and installed it properly, pushing the seal in until it is flush with the casing. When removing the old seal, I used a blind seal puller kit as to make sure not to damage the casing around the seal area. The crankshaft itself is in good shape, with no burs or uneven metal sticking out.
What would cause a brand new seal to leak right away? I have previously seal the tensioner chain Allen bolt with silcone, so I know that is no longer a source of oil leaks, as it has leaked in the past.
What is the part circled in black? There's some yellow epoxy type seal filled in that hole. Is that a possible source of oil leaking?
(This picture isn't of my GY6, just a reference photo for the part in question)
