Crankcase pressure (Oil Leak UPDATE)

Turned out the rear main seal was dry as a bone. The rear of the oil pan is leaking. Dropped the pan and put a new pan seal in. Got it all buttoned up. Took it for a little drive, all was good. Drove back home (90 miles) now its leaking again.

Someone explain the vacuum pump pressurizing the crankcase to me again. This might be a possibilty? If so what other symptoms should I look for.

Also maybe I running too much boost and its blowing by the rings and pressurizing the oil pan?? Although on the way home I was never over 20-25psi. Mostly under 15psi the majority of the time. Other symptoms would be??

All these leaks are starting to irritate me. Especially when about 10 hrs of busted knuckles was all for nothing.

Thanks,
Chad
