also just to mention, depending on what oil you are using, synthetics can leak or seep more than conventional oils from what i have found. if using synthetic consider trying a good regular oil to see if it leaks/seeps less.

if not using synthetic, consider trying an additive like lucas oil stabilizer, its not a stop leak & doesnt have any seal conditioners/swellers, but it does have a sticky or clinging property that i found to reduce leaks in my old daily driver jeep cherokee 4.0 with a bad & common rear main leak as well as pan & valve cover leaks on a 200k mile engine. lucas & conventional oil helped the leaking more than any other stop leak additives i tried.
