> I am changing the crank seal on my 5TQ (for the second time!).  The first 
replacement a month ago leaks more than it did before.

The main reason new crank and cam seals leak is that they weren't oiled 
before installation.  Even Audi has made this mistake - a number of 
MB-engined ur-quattros were recalled to have the rear crank seal replaced. 
 Soak in oil before installation.
