Can't say for sure but you may have some wear on your crank snout that is not letting the seal seal for long.

The front cover may be out of alignment. There is a tool used to center the cover around the crank.
The seal may have been installed wrong too; again there are special tools for removing and installing the seal. These things can be done without the special tools, but using the tools is easiest.
(Rotunda 2.8 tool kits are available on e-bay - and maybe here)

I think the better question would be... where doesn't a 2.8L leak oil...?
