It may be a good thing you did. That Nachi seal has a small notch molded into the outer sealing area for ventilation.

Having an oil flow from the pump would be nice. If I were to use engine oil for lubrication, I figure 10cc/min would be enough to keep the bearing in oil, under certain conditions.
