I had what I thought was the same problem with my 0-300D.


FYI - If by chance the leak is between the upper end of the pushrod
tube and the cyl head, there is only a metal-to-metal seal between the
two. For field repair, a multi-ball type expander tool is used to
expand a bead from the ID of the tube to get it to reseal. Sometimes
the tubes get loose during misc jug handling. It is a simple fix when
you find someone with the tool.

But you are smart to be absolutely certain where the leak is first.

Had the same leak at about 200hrs on an IO-550-B. Fixed at annual.
