and I almost hate to suggest this, is when I did my first 5-speed conversion and had the auto trans p/u pipe in the 5-speed sump. It seats on installation fine, obviously, but as it settles in the sump it is forced out of the timing cover due to differences in the shape and depth of the two sumps. Little if any indication during assembly that there was a problem. Engine r&r was the only solution.
I can believe that you assembled it with it not fully seated in the o-ring but it would take a pretty good whack to dislodge it after it's bolted up to the bearing cap. You didn't accidentally rest any engine weight on the pickup tube after installation before setting it on the sump did you?
