Front Crank Oil Seal - Not Sealing

[MidOHasp]

So during assembly, emphasis on the first 3 letters, I noticed that the balancer did not fit 100% square in the oil seal. It didn't look like there was a blatant gap or I probably wouldn't have tried to sweep it under the rug, but I knew it wasn't perfect.

Now it's spraying oil (not at an alarming rate...maybe a well distributed teaspoon or two over the course of a hard 100 mile cruise... but anything to me is a bit alarming and annoying.

There are about 10 bolts it seems holding that timing cover on the front of the block, so my question is - if the little bugger doesn't line up properly over the crank centerline, how do you fix that?

Front end of the motor's coming off soon due to a bolt being sheared off, figure that's a good time to fix it.

But how? So I throw my cover away and get a new one...and it's left of center instead of a tad too high. Surely this problem has been encountered and handled by one of you guys.

Help?

Thanks,
JP
