If the leak is coming from the same area or seal, either the guy who changed them has done a crap job (front crank seal easy to damage at installation) or you have excessive crankcase pressure blowing oil out of the seals. (normally blocked breathers or completely shot rings)
Most likely bodged install though.

Check your oil pressure, incase the pressure release valve is jammed shut. Have a quick look at the oil filter, and check it's still the original shape, and hasn't been ballooned.
