New build and have her running on a test bed/rolling cart for engine/trans installation. All seems tight with the exception of the rear main area. Short of dis assembly or slathering the cam plug and oil gallery plugs with sealant, has anyone tried pressurizing the oil system and visually looking for a leak? Everything looks ok, but she drips every 4 or 5 seconds when running.

Thanks in advance
