Has anyone in TR land had a cam shaft plug fail?

I posted about my vent tube last week and that is now dry as a bone but the 
drip 
persists. 

I can see my 'modern rear main' and it and the flywheel appear dry. I cannot 
see 
the cam plug but eliminated that as the ring gear shows no sign of oil and it 
passes right over the top of the plug. 

Is that a fair assumption or not?

 I had the same problem on TR4 
1-remove fly-wheel
2-clean engine surface 
3-reinstall fly-wheel 
4-reinstall starter 
5-remove spark plugs
6- turn starter till oil pressure is up.(repeat till you find leak)
