I ordered Century motor and tune up kit. After install, there is a leak where the motor is bolted into the plate. What else could it be?

Thank you! I'll check that out. I did order a new seal plate just in case. I'll try that!

It's possible that the shaft seal was not sitting flush with the seal plate. There could be a small crack in the seal plate.

The first thing I'd try is reseating the shaft seal and make sure it is installed in the correct orientation.
