Seals 900 1994

My Cam Seal was leaking, so I changed all three seals. Now after 700 miles I see some oil coming out the bottom of the bottom cover and dripping onto the A/C hose. I would also assume it is the Crank Seal since it is at the Bottom, maybe the Aux. Seal? When the Cam was leaking it cam the oil came out just above the PS pump and ran down the head. Can I assume this will stop? Does the seal take time to seat? The Brick has 165k miles and I also use Synthetic Oil. Someone also mentioned the breather system being clogged; I typically change the flame trap every 20k miles. Is their anything else that should be changed? What is the procedure for checking the breather system?
One thing I should also mention is that I dressed the Seals with a Permatex Hylomar HPF Gasket Dressing. It sounded like a good choice at the time; high temp, sticky (help hold in place).... but maybe prevents good seal? Does anyone have any experience with this stuff?
