A lot of people do replace seals and the leaks will
soon double their efforts it seems.
Paul Tegler did a neat thing, where he developed his
own breathing system to eliminate that compression
build-up in the cylinder block (from blow-by and
windage).
Check with teglerizer.com for the specifics of his
breathing system. But I'm pretty positive that if you
simply replace the seals, you will eliminate the oil
leaks only very temporarily.
In fact I should try to duplicate it myself.
