I hate to tell you but as the other gentleman who replied in your picture that seal was installed correctly. That’s what I was referencing. Lt seals look like that in comparison to many others and a lot of people misinterpret it as backwards. While I believe it was leaking I’m concerned to the cause. I don’t know how many miles are on your car. It’s possible the rings aren’t seated and causing too much crankcase pressure. You can try to add a catch can but with a stock pullied car and what’s going on it’s more of a band aid than a fix. My personal thoughts are the shop that tuned it. The reason I say that is it sounds like they aren’t experienced with the lt motor since they told you the seal was backwards and if they are the same ones who tuned it if the timing or a/f isn’t right for this the same thing can occur. I know you said it only leaked on the dyno. On your drive home did you get on it or just cruise? If no full boost was seen this only further convinces me I may be right. You may want to have someone else just look at your file for a second opinion.
