Subject:      leak from bellhousing

After replacing the seals on both the transmission and engine in my '87
syncro, I still have fluid leaking from my bellhousing. The fluid is oily
and black, I presume from the clutch dust in the housing. This saga began
with a tranny rebuild and clutch replacement. Since the original work, the
transmission has been pulled and the engine has been pulled to replace seals
(all at the expense of my mechanic). The first engine seal appeared to be
defective, had sort of a ripple in the sealing edge of the rubber. I guess
it's possible to get two defective seals but that seems pretty remote. Any
other ideas on what this problem could be?
