At this point you have to ask yourself two questions:
1. Why is it happening? See if there is a consistent reason
that your starter is failing. If you can... Correct it.
2. How do I feel about originality? Let me suggest contacting
Ted Schumacher of TS Imports to get one of the Nissan
adapted starters. I replaced the starter on my TR4 with one
of his Nippondenso units and have been extremely satisfied.
This comes after a 10 year running battle with several Lucas
rebuilt starters. I got so good at pulling starters I could
do the job (which for me included removing the carbs intake
manifold and dropping the header)in 35 minutes.

That's not a leak... My car's just marking its territory...
