1. A sealing system for sealing between components, the sealing system comprising:
a first component including a first component surface;
a second component including a second component surface, the second component surface being oriented in a direction transverse to the first component surface, the second component having an axis and axial direction, the axial direction being transverse to the first component surface;
a seal assembly including a seal member having a plurality of contact surfaces including a first contact surface and a second contact surface, the first contact surface being configured to contact the first component surface and to slide relative to the first component surface, the second contact surface being configured to contact the second component surface and to slide relative to the second component surface, the second contact surface being oriented in a direction transverse to the first contact surface; and
a spring positioned to apply a biasing force to press the second contact surface into contact with the second component surface, the biasing force being applied in a direction transverse to the axial direction,
wherein the first component includes an inner portion and an outer portion relative to the axis of the second component, the inner portion and the outer portion defining a groove, the spring being retained with in the groove.
