You need a sleeve on the crank pulley to cover the groove on the sealing surface.

A quick fix (without a sleeve, or when none is available) would be to grind 1/4" off the back of the seal, installing it all the way in. This moves the sealing surface to a new spot on the crank pulley, sealing the leak.
