Default Hollow Crankshaft- Rear oil plug too far in??

Uh,
I think I might have pushed the rear oil seal in the back of the crankshaft in too far trying to use the grease/hydraulic method to push out the pilot bearing. What do I need to do to fix this problem? I don't want to put my new clutch in only to find out my car is now pumping oil out all over the place!

Help!

Thanks,
Seth

If it's cocked and damaged, I'd remove it and then put in a new plug. If it still looks seated evenly, I'd just leave it though.
