Default Rear main 2 piece seal for a small block Ford

I have to replace the 2 piece rear main seal on my small block Ford. Should I just replace it with a seal from NAPA or get a Fel-Pro Performance silicone 2 piece rear seal? Any one know where to get the tool to replace the upper seal? If I am goin through all the trouble to do this I don't want it to leak!

The engine only has 500 miles on it. Yes, it's the rear seal. I removed the starter and there is oil inside the bell housing. I just re-installed the pan thinking that was where the leak was comming from, but the front of the block plate is dry as a bone. This will be time consuming as I have a main stud girdle and windage tray. Royal PITA!

Should I try a bottle of Lucas engine oil stop leak???
