The spacer seals against the bearing thrust face - metal to metal - when you torque down the compensator it seals - but not completely - if you read some of the older belt drive instructions it will say to push RTV into the spline grooves prior to final assembly b/c the metal to metal seal is not always good - the rear of the spacer can also get damaged - then it always leaks badly - I think this is what John is talking about - but you may not have a problem - the oil may be just leaking out there b/c you do not have the spacer torqued down against the bearing
there is no other part besides the spacer and the seal that fit against the bearing - microfiche???? man - I have not seen **** like that in 20 years - most guys I deal with dont even know WTF that is

Seals the Same way [or Not] as the Rear drive Sprocket on the Tranny... loose = probably Damaged where the Faces Meet!!!

well - I've never seen one grooved like that - buy a new one - Eastern sells then USA made for 20 bucks - I run the seal the other way - lip pointed in so it does not burp out onto my belts/open primaries

what happened is the nut was loose enough that under engine load the spacer was turning and dug a groove in it - very common
you need to check the big comp nut is not bottoming before its tight this is the main cause we see
