[T2] @&^%$$ oil leak still there -update

[MUTS]

    Researched the seal seating issue, mostly on the Samba, Bob Hoover 
blog (he died in 2010) $ some YouTube.  The seal is to be put in all the 
way according to most of the advice, since if put in only flush, it will 
ride on the wider part and edge can burn? Fully seated it will stay 
square.  The early seal drivers did push the seal flush (beetles?) but 
the later ones sunk it in- and was advised for type 4 (which is like the 
type2)?  I made a seal pusher from an electrical coverplate with the 5 
holes for flywheel drilled in.  The seal can be driven in with old seal.
      The best way to remove the seal I have learned is to use a large 
bent prybar 1/2" wide and using outer edge of seal area as fulcrum, pry 
out the seal.  This one came out pretty easily- it was the orange German 
one- may have shrunk? It only had about 10mi rotation and looked ok.  I 
cannot recall putting any oil or grease on backside of flywheel as is 
reccommended.
    I cleaned things yesterday and noticed 2 things- there is some 
marking of the case seal surface due to past seal pull attempts. I 
cleaned up some high spots that looked like transfer of some metal.  The 
flywheel I believe was a used replacement when I went to a larger trans 
and needed a bigger flywheel/clutch and starter. It worked fine for 
years.  It is not "mirror smooth" in the seal area- I am trying to 
sandpaper it and polish with steel wool. This engine has 220K miles on 
the never split case, but heads, rod bearings, were redone 60K ago.  I 
did remove the shims and felt the thrust bearing as Nyssa turned the 
crank side to side- felt no movement.  In my reading, high oil pressure 
on the seal can come from excessive end play, blockage of return hole 
you see behind the flywheel mount, or blockage in return system by 
excessive sealer chipping off, especially silicone RTV- also stuck 
pressure relief valve?
    Loss of power/slipping clutch is why I pulled the engine over a year 
ago, and I did see oil on clutch.  Don't recall it leaking onto the 
driveway.   Replaced it, along with seal, and the woes started- I wonder 
still if something else is leaking (galley plugs?-but looks like clean 
original rtv around the plugs and back of flywheel was oily as if leak 
started int he center, not from a plug.).
