Rear main seal-leak

I recently had my rear main seal fixed, the guy who did it is a chevy guy, my car is a mopar..but he said the seal went right in, no problem. It wasnt leaking real bad but i decided to fix it. NOW...the car still leaks oil from the bottom of the shroud(the shroud in front of my trans pan) but ONLY when the car is hot ...then it eventually stops. Its not alot of oil leaking. Im fustrated with it..spent alot of cash and it still leaks, dont know if i should have him tear it back apart or not, or should i just let it go...its got a brand new seal! What do u guys think?

You may need to install an over sized seal to stop the leaking if the crank is worn.
