What causes this to occur? Incorrect build or incorrect user?

Bill is talking about the O-ring that seals the oil pump to the
block. It's the only thing left. I've seen them leak with the same
problem that you have. Unfortunately, you have to pull the oil pan
to pull the pump to get to the O-ring it, that's why he mentioned it
when you were pulling the pan.

Nope. "Only 8k on the rebiuild, why would that be bad?" Yeah, I
know.
The only oil seal I see in the FSM goes in the front of the pump,
which I would assume can be removed the same way?.. I can't find
anything showing a seal behind the pump... same thing with the parts
diagrams, I don't see anything behind it, just the $8 one on the
front side.. Am I missing something?

Did you pull the oil pump off and replace the o ring behind it?

9 hours later, still leaks.. fun fun. Ran the car up to temp while
engine still hanging from the hoist, glad we did it. Oil appears at
the front lower, center and one corner of the crank valley. Can't
tell if it's the pan or the main, motor was professionally rebuilt
by a reputable shop ~8k miles ago so would be curious if it was the
main but you never know.
So, can the car be safely idled without the crank pulley installed
(leaving the timing gear and key in place and the bolt on the crank
to keep the gear from sliding off)? Trying to see where the oil
originates from while idling, main or pan.. and don't want to redo
the pan if we can avoid that bundle of joy.
Also, when calling a "front main seal", are we actually talking
about the "front oil seal", located in the front of the oil pump,
part # 10-602A / B3C7-10-602A ? I assume so, but want to make sure
I'm bitching about the right part. :) Did a search and that appears
correct but want to verify.
Thanks.
