    Is it just the seal that you change. If so, I would check the shaft and bearings. If the bearings are knackered, the shaft will have movement causing the seal to fail. Likewise if the shaft is worn or bent it will have the same effect.
    Pedparts for example do a complete kit for approx £10
    This will work out cheaper than buying seals every 2 weeks or risking your engine overheating.
    the only other thing is possibly human error fitting seals>
    Good luck

    If you check the shaft where it runs inside the seal it's likely the surface will be eaten away with rust and/or wear.
    Cheers
