Update:

Six months on and, after an engine re-build (new cam and valves etc.) and this time using cork sump seals, the drippage is reduced, not eliminated, but back to a tolerable level.

I have still been running the vacuum pump. It is on an ignition controlled circuit with its own switch, so is usually only switched on once the engine is running. Occasionally I have it switched ...

I can’t remember the last time I had a response to a classified on here. I would think it’s at least five years, possibly much longer.
