Question 87FXSTC primary oil leaks to engine?

Hey new to this, but have a problem I am hoping to get some direction on. I have an 87FXSTC with a remanufactured engine 3 years old with 15,000 miles on it. Had early problems with the engine as they forgot wrist pin clips and cylinder walls got scored. That was fixed under warranty. Current problem is I have lost primary oil and it is showing up in the engine oil. This does not make sense as I thought the engine would be under higher pressure and oil would go from the engine to the primary if the main oil seal was bad. Should I just change the seal or be looking at possibly other issues too.
