    Never happened to me before. How long did you run it after the seal popped?

    Try running some seal conditioner through it before you give up. Mobil1 High Mileage contains this stuff, and it really works well.

    I've heard in the past that over-filling causes a high-pressure condition - this might be illustrating that.

    Drain down, refill with proper amount. If problem persists, your seal is in need of a body massage. Sometimes the release of pressure from proper usage will correct the seal breach. Sometimes....
