It matters more than you might guess; this seal MUST be installed to the correct depth, which is why Porsche released a tool that does this perfectly every time.

I can`t remember now if I just eyeballed it or I measured the 13 mm distance all the way around based on the manual, but this should be doable properly without the tool:
It certainly helps though to have it, I think the tool you are referring to is called 9699.

Thinking of JFP`s 5. point, it`s unlikely that the cases are deformed, as I assume the seal was not leaking before. Did you split the cases for the rebuild btw? Perhaps they are somehow misaligned?

The cases in question are not deformed, they were machined wrong (the opening is not round) causing the seals to leak and pop out.

Amazing. What happened to the German precision?

Believe me, Porsche is not the only company that cannot always produce round openings in car engines...................
Worse yet, then did produce a $700 tool to prove it.

You need the 9699/2, which has the adaptor for the PTFE seal
