After reading the responses mentioning I installed the seal incorrectly, I took off rear cover and removed seal. I tried to install seal from rear of cover as recommended. This just resulted in tearing the rubber coating off. I stoped before destroying the seal.

Since the inside of the cover has a bevel, I went back and installed from inside of cover using a little Wellseal. After getting seal in so was flush with inside of cover using a block of wood, I then used a 1/4" punch and carefully pressed seal in to get the 2.5mm clearance from inside of cover. This placed seal just flush with outside of cover. Then used RTV to install cover (since no gasket is available).

Note: It is a little tricky to install cover and seal. Care must be taken to slip the seal over the end of crankshaft.
