202 upper power steering seal ?

Getting ready to tare into my steering shaft again. I put a speedy sleeve and seal kit into it about six months ago and it started leaking out the top of the steering column again. I just wanted to be sure I installed the seal correctly. This seal goes into the cast outer cover on the steering column. The first pic is of the speedy sleeve on the column.

Second pic is of two of the seals side by side. On the left is the concave side of the seal. on the right is the other flat side of the seal. Am I correct in assuming that the flat side of the seal should go into that outer housing so that the flat side is sliding down over the shaft when that outer shaft is installed?

(quoted from post at 14:29:28 11/18/18) On any oil seal, the spring side of the rubber lip goes toward the oil..

Please forgive me for being a bit of a novice on this stuff. In the pic on the left, I can pull back the rubber a bit and see the spring. So, you're saying that the flat side of the seal (right pic) should go into the outer housing so that the convex side (left pic) will slide down the shaft and over that speedy sleeve?

If that's the case, I might have installed the current seal in backwards.

Thank you. I went back to my first post about this and saw a picture of the shaft with my new seal in it. So evidently I did install it correctly.

Now to get it apart again and try to see why the new seal failed so soon.
