    cam shaft seal leaking

    I started my engine and all was good until i crawled underneath and seen a little oil on the back side on the edge of the head gasket and about shit, but after looking around, its coming from my cam shaft seal which is brand new, and i installed it all right. So what would cause that to happen. im going to replace it, but what if it still leaks after i put the seal in. they are both honda factory seals. any ideas why this is happening.

      You rub oil all over the seal before installing it?

                        would you suggest taking the rocker arm loose to get it out, because its going to be hard to get out without removing the rocker arm or loosening it

                          when it is installed, make sure it is even and not cockeyed.

                            Ive looked at it closely when i put it in and you can still see that its still lined up perfect all the way around. how would you go about taking it out. would you loosen the rocker arm?

                              nah, you can get it out with a pick or small screwdriver.
