Sitting for extended periods between trips probably lets the seal dry out and shrink, and it has to swell up and tighten onto the crankshaft hub when you start driving again. There are quite a few OEM rope seals on Ebay, the kind with that "unmentionable" material in them that actually makes the seal work right!
