I had a Fiat Spyder DOHC engine that leaked oil from one cam seal.
Couldn't get it stopped until I realized the oil was going around the
seal, not through it. Gasket cement around a new seal cured the problem.
I put Speedi-Sleeves on both ends of the crank in my MGB engine. The
rear seal leaks and the front doesn't. Doesn't leak a lot but I'll find
a small puddle under it when the car is parked for an extended time.
Another leak source is the filter adapter seal. Have you isolated it?
