Stihl oil seals
If that's a new seal, I'd guess your inner lip has rolled, the spring is missing, it's wrong, or just plain defective.
I'm assuming you cleaned the crank surface, and oiled the seal.
It could be something as simple as an errant hair that got assembled with it, or a dust bunny.
While there is too much Dirko, I'd run saw as it is. Seems to hold pressure well enough to not cause a problem. You can always recheck after a tank or two.Thanks guys, seal is correctly orientated and is OEM “soft seal” which should be installed with the ring facing out. It’s completely on the shaft and not on the taper but it’s close. The lip we can see is a dust seal and the inner is the oil seal. Hmmm Thaanks for the suggestions !
Eeeewwwwee!It could be something as simple as an errant hair that got assembled with the seal on the inner lip.

Yamabond 4 !!what sealant gives you a longer working time than dirko? This stuf is a pain in the arse. It skins up so quickly it’s infuriating.
Thanks for the suggestion mate just had a look but doesn’t say anything about it being able to come into contact with fuel? Been stung with this before with another sealant that’s all. Set time of 1 hour sounds absolutely wonderful though!!Yamabond 4 !!
permatex grey is what I useTook it out with the engine together will fit another. Notice where it’s leaking, it’s from the bloody gap in the metal ring area. When I pushed the ring around, the air leak moved inline with it every time. anyway, going to tap a new one in and go from there.
