I have been able to eliminate just about every leak except for the headstock cover. I originally had a new cork gasket from Monarch. Leaked. I cleaned the cork and reinstalled with Hylomar both sides. Leaked. I have made two new gaskets from different thickness material. Both leak.
The tach gears sling the oil so energetically that the oil starts weeping where the arrow is, and then the leak slowly progresses around the entire cover.
I traced this because I had oil wicking between all the covers, and in cleaning all the oil off and watching, it turned out that this leak was the cause of all the wicking.
Is there any way to seal the cover plate? I guess my next solution would be silicone seal like on a car engine oil pan.
