My 745Ti was leaking around the oil return line at the block. I used lacquer thinner to clean that area up- really cleaned it up as in no oil residue, especially in the seam between the tube and the block. Then I used one of GE's high grade silicones to fill the seam and contiunued to coat the tube and block until it looked like a "weld" of silcone between the tube and the block. I then let it set up until I was sure it was completely cured. I forget how long this was but 24+ hours. That was 2 1/2 years ago and it hasn't leaked a drop since.
