Front Oil seal possible leak??
 
So since my rebuild with all new seals and gaskets I have noticed a very fine spatter/spray of fluid on the inside of the bonnet above the front of the engine. I thought at first is was the turbo oil feed. so I changed that. Then maybe a fuel line and that was not the case. After a look over with my tuner after a drive yesterday we noticed a very tiny dribble on the front cover below the pulley. very small and the pulley hub and around it all looks dry. no sign of fluid coming down from above the pulley. So I am thinking that the new front seal has somehow got a little weep? Is this likely? Will it likely bed in and be okay or get worse?
How much of a mare is it to change as I know you have to be real careful with the thrust bearing inside? it was a new seal from Atkins too? The old seal didn't leak. I just changed it so it was fresh and didn't cause a problem in the future!!! LOL!

Thank you
