Are you sure the oil leak is coming from the same place? Maybe there were two leaks and you fixed only one. Did you inspect the rear main bearing cap, slinger, drain tube etc? Is the oil filler cap pushed on too far? There are many possible causes of an oil leak and I'd want to be darned sure I knew where the problem was before going to all the effort of removing the engine.
I'm sure now I have started in this direction, others will chime in with ideas.
Good luck with your "leaky rear end".
