BUT, the crank seal that came with the kit was completely defective. The second it went in the car it started leaking oil.
When I called ECS about a replacement, they told me "Too bad, you can't prove it. It's not our problem. Want to buy another?"

I had a
bad oil leak, too, just like you after my mechanic installed a 1.8T kit from ECS...It turned out to be the cam seal. I didn't mind the $12 it cost me to buy one from the dealer. What I
did mind was, that it took 5 more hours for my mechanic to replace the seal, winding up costing me more money.
So, was it a faulty cam seal, or was the mechanic at fault? Your post makes me wonder. There was no problem at all with the OEM cam seal.
