Oddly enough the area around the separator box is one of the few areas not covered in oil. I also think the pvc repair worked as planned. I had a slight puffing at the dipstick before that is not there now. The theory I'm starting to develop: before the repair the engine pressure was forcing the seals out & causing them to leak. Now that the repair is done & seems to be working the force on the seals has been reversed. Don't know if there is logic to this argument or not. Currently all the seals are leaking to some degree with the main leak coming from the rear main seal. Thanks for everyones help,I need it! Jim.
