I've seen posts here about replacing the rear main seal (the one behind the flywheel) that describe how to install the new one in not quite the same spot as the old one, something about avoiding a possible tiny groove worn on the "hub" where the flywheel mounts. I don't know if this concern is valid, but it gets mention here occasionally.
I replaced the one in my current 87 900 a couple of years ago, it's been leak-free since. I didn't do anything exotic when installing it other than cobbling together a press made out of PVC parts and pressing it in very carefully.
You can probably search for more info on this board.
Perhaps your leak may be originating from somewhere else, like your distributor. That's something I'm currently addressing with a distributor rebuild job.
Good luck.
