I've rebuilt mine twice because I had to.  Each time, I've not managed to 
control the oil from leaking, despite going to the new real oil seals.  

Then again, I insist on using Mobil 1 15-50 synthetic, and I expect Mobil 
builds into the DNA of that oil the intrinsic nature to seek my garage floor.  

Not sure what you're running, but syn may exacerbate the problem....
