Default Crankshaft rear main oil seal grooves

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find a photo and more information regarding the directional grooves which direct oil back into the engine as the crank rotates at the rear seal. I am having a problem with oil seepage, very minor, from between the blockplate and the block. The seal was replaced once before, but began leaking again in the same manner after very short time. Definately coming from the rear seal. There do not appear to be any grooce in the journal. But never have seen them in the past, I just want to understand what I am looking for. A good picture would really help.

Thanks,

Gene
