Haha. Well, I can tell you that mine was leaking at those same points, but it was because both sides of the gasket were missing. Usually when the LIM is replaced, goop is used on those corners where the gasket doesnt quite fill in. I am suspecting that this is the case with yours and once you pull the lower, you will see what im talking about if you dont already know.
In this pic, the orange silicone shows the corners im talking about.

First time I did it I put gobs on top and bottom of the corners like shown below, but it still leaked, so when I redid it I put gasket maker along the entire surface of the seals.
