Default what went wrong

Some months back I put a new seal on a C-85 and had it continue to leak.
After a LOT of head scratching it turned out that the breather, which exited
through the cowl, had been repositioned and was pressurizing the crankcase.

I'm 99% sure it is not pressurizing but wonder if you used a sealant tween
the seal and case?
