I wouldn't be using thread tape on flywheel bolts.

First up, are the bolt holes blind?

If they are, they don't need a sealer as such, but I would still apply a loctite to the threads and torque them to spec.

I'd nearly bet your crank rear flange is out round, the seal cannot keep the oil in the engine if this is the case.

Mount a dial indicator on the seal surface and turn the engine by hand.
