Lean it against the shed on the exhaust side and see if it still leaks but it switches sides, could very well be a case leak, or it could be a trans leak, switch your trans oil to a red Auto trans oil and see if it is red oil maybe ?
Took it all apart again, fitted a new inner primary seal which I had originally mounted backwards (thank you Harley for reversing the fitment...) and I fitted a new quadseal which I didn't think of to replace before...
And it SEEMS this has cured the leak(s)!
Before it would start dripping as soon as I'd park it when hot, now it doesn't leave a drop!

I did the same exact thing and my seal wasn't marked oil side and the instructions that came with the seal and bearing didn't specify either. My seal self destructed then leaked. It took a lot of google searches to find an image with the wider bearing set up.
