A valve stem seal assembly includes a retainer with an elastomeric seal body bonded to the interior of the retainer. The seal body includes first and second annular sealing members that engage a valve stem and valve guide, respectively. The seal body also includes a third annular sealing member that protrudes slightly below a bottom surface of a lower flanged portion of the retainer, adapted to engage a cylinder head. Poor machining of the valve guide, and or the cylinder head, often creates a leak path for oil to flow beneath the seal, and through openings between valve guide and cylinder head. The third annular sealing member seals the leak path. The elastomeric seal body also includes axially disposed ribs near the bottom of the retainer with window-like exposed metal spacer areas between ribs, which lowers cost of the seal assembly through reduced amount of elastomeric material required for manufacture.
