There could be scuffing on the crank, this would cause the seal to fail prematurely. It is also possible that you are not installing the seal properly, and damaging it.

Where are you getting the seal from? Remember, with seals, you get what you pay for, I would suggest dropping by the dealership and picking up an OE seal.
