I am at a loss! Rear main seal leak!

I am at a loss! Rear main seal leak!
I can tell you from my experience that I swore my rear seal was leaking and had it replaced 2 times. Went to another guy and he suggested buying a black light and putting oil friendly dye in the crankcase. I did that and to my surprise, found oil coming out the front corners of the intake, running along the head/block line, back to come out of the bellhousing. You could absolutely not see the oil leak under normal light. Light cost about $15 and dye about $10. I was ready to pull the motor, but fixed it with a tube of RTV.
