Default Mechanical help

Hello. At the point replacing all primary components I have discovered an oil seal leak suspected seal replaced the oil seal with replacement new oem and it appears to be leaking out of the splines on the crank shaft on the clutch side of the engine the crank spacer behind that oil seal seems to be in ok condition upon reassembly did we miss anything is there a microfiche or assembly diagram showing which seals and what order everything goes on? It is a 1976 superglide shovel chain primary and engine.

I need a microfiche or assembly diagram for this shaft oncludong the spacers and seals

Those 2 little holes for the stator harness will leak between the primary and engine if you forget to seal that up properly too.
