Oil leak solved (under odd circumstances).

OK, so I've had this oil leak at the shifter seal for a while now; on vacation with no time to really look into it. Just feed her oil now and then to keep her happy and don't park in a friend's driveway this trip. She's dumping quite a bit of oil, and I've installed two oil seals in the last two weeks to try to stop it, to no avail.
Broke down on the hiway going home Thu evening and had her towed to the same shop that did my alternator last year (J&J Motorsports in Thunder Bay, Ontario, I don't have enough good things to say. Great people and they'll take a job off the lift to get to someone that's on the rosd). I was thinking fuel delivery because it's easy and fast to get back on the road. I told them not to worry much about the oil issue, just get me home.
I got her back this afternoon and the mechanic said he found water everywhere; gas, airbox, down tubes, some vacuum caps missing from the desmog and a blocked crankcase breather. All little things that together brought the girl to her knees.
Oh, and the alternator oil O-ring was 1/3 gone and that's where the oil is coming from. They took one off of a 1500 Wing that was waiting for parts and no more oil leak! I asked about the oil at the shifter and he said that's normal in a lot of cases, but not enough to drip. Oil all over the lower engine, pipes, bags, rear brake etc is due to the weird way the wind tosses things around at hiway speeds; makes you look in the wrong place half the time.
