I was thinking of the camshaft as the leaker. Will look into it next =
fall when I have time to pull the trans. Meanwhile, am happy the pcv =
system has reduced the oil consumption to a trickle.

I fitted the modified seal 10 years ago and have always had an oil leak =
since. After finally removing the gearbox for repair last month I =
removed flywheel etc to have a look at it. I removed the backing plate =
and no leaks were identified around the seal, it was totally dry. =
However the back of the camshaft drain was a different scenario. I then =
noticed there should have been a gasket according to the books, which =
mine did not have. I had used a silicone gasket maker in that area and =
that failed (didn't work). I made a thick 1.6mm (1/16inch) gasket and =
now think I have solved the leaks problem.
