If you got the wrong seals in there and blocked off the flow then the pressure 
would be higher than it should be and I suppose this might overwhelm the 
drain channel from the #4 (rear) main bearing. I never heard of this 
happening, but I suppose it's possible. I'd take a look at your seals.

What color were your new oil cooler seals? I assume you have a dual oil 
pressure relief case and the late cooler (which has the part # stamped on 
top, near the oil pressure switch.)
