Oil leak from clutch pull rod (R1 5PW engine)

I've got a persistent oil leak from the clutch pull rod on my 5PW engine. I've changed the seal twice now (new one each time) and it's still doing it. The rod doesn't appear to be damaged or scored so I'm at a bit of a loss as to what more I can do? Anyone encountered this before?

Just a thought, Crankcase pressure high?
Check crankcase venting ok

I'm sure it goes in a specific way, and I know you aren't a retard... but are you sure you are putting it in the correct way Laughing

Crankcase pressure...hadn't thought of that. It has an oil catch can which never has any oil in it despite it needing to be overfilled slightly (to stop oil starvation as the engine is in a car) so I'm not sure it would be that though as I would have thought I'd be seeing more oil pushed out the breathers?
