I can't fully tell just peeking through the little panel opening. Is there a way to push the seal back too far on this motor? I'm pretty sure there's some kind of a drain passage back there. I had a nick towards the front of the motor so I pushed the seal a little bit further in.

If I see that the driver's side leak has completely stopped I may just get a redi-sleeve anyways. I'm still just worried about going too far. I know most cars you can bottom out on a lip but I couldn't find if this is one of those engines or not (since the manual tells you to use that specific height tool).

Also can anyone confirm part numbers? It looks like the oil seals all part stores have for this engine are wrong. I ordered from rock auto and it was way smaller and then noticed all part stores had the same parts listed. 3771 for the seal and redi-sleeve 99139 seem correct but I wanted to verify, especially if I have to tear this thing down for a third time.
