My pulley has the spiral as part of it, not two piece, so I put a reddi sleave on it that measures 1.6345. It seems the seal should be fine. What I think is happening is oil is going under the seal and coming out, the trough that the seal sets in is large on the pan portion and deep in the center. I am going to try a sealer on the seal to pan, put it back together and give it a try. I will let you know.

And me? I'm thinking as long as you have this disassembled, install the proper two-piece rope seal and be done with this project.
