TR3 Rear Seal/PCV?

     My TR3A leaks oil out the rear seal at about a quart every 100 miles. The 
engine runs strong and I don't want to pull it just to change out the seal. 
I've been wondering if using a TR4 setup for PCV might prevent the crankcase 
from pressurizing a bit and if that would assist in not blowing oil past the 
seal. Has anyone tried this and did it work? Should I just take the coward's 
way out and rebuild the engine right, fixing both the rear seal and the blow-by 
problem?
