Default Rear main seal..........yep, still leaks

Had a post of mine on 10-21-23 about my rms seal leak..........alot of good answers on what might be the problem..........so you dont have to read the thread, tried the best gasket seal, then the one piece bop seal, no idea on what was used on the 1st rebuild.

Im just trying to understand this a little better..............is it possible about some machining defect, or block issue why these gaskets dont seem to work one way or the other.

Pics show after running about 30 or so miles, about 5 drips after running, i clean them up.............couple hrs later another 4-5............this was from driving on Last sunday............monday about the same amount of drips...........tue on 1 drip as in pic...............wed , back to the 3-5 drips.......

My question, i understand it will drip while driving, but why does it keep dripping three days later while the motor isnt running.............

Im thinking maybe its something with this 455 block, and maybe not with the gaskets themselves...............any thoughts on this.

Big question for you guys with leaks.............this seem about normal for you also.............as of right now, i have 330 miles this year, and the dipstick is still reading full.............maybe im not losing all that much oil, lol..........who knows.

Not sure what im gonna do in the future, but thinking 3 strikes im out with this block ...............
