I had trouble w/ a mexican block that i used to run same shit like the 289 hi-po... It leacked on me w/ three seals i put in that thing [Mad] .

The forth one ddnt leak i put it flush w both the cap and the block... some ppl have one side of the seal 3/8ths above both the block and cap THAT NEVER WORKED FOR ME!

If i remeber it was a felpro product and it wasnt the regular black seal it was a orange red color made of a better material.

Hope that hellps [patriot]

Ive seen them leak through the main cap itself where it mates to the block,I usually rub a LITTLE bit of silicone on the face of the main cap where it mounts onto the block,and do like you said offset the seal when you put it in.I put a small dab of silicone where the seal mate also.Dont forget the seal is supposed to go in a certain way too.
