Vaccum Pump Shaft Seal Orientation

While changing a vacuum pump I had a look in at the seal (STD-208) for the drive shaft. I'm thinking now that it was installed backwards. Wish I had a picture, but it's all sealed up now. I'm suspecting I'm leaking some oil through there and want to get it fixed before I take out another pump. Can anyone tell me the correct orientation of that seal? I was installed so that the flat side is toward the engine.

    It is backwards. The side with the lip and open area goes in. Very easy to change if the pump is off
