Actually, the seal I'm talking about is the two-piece rubber (or neoprene) seal. The upper half bolts to the back of the block with 3 bolts, and the lower half bolts to the rear main bearing cap, also with 3 bolts.
I don't think the rubber will expand with oil, will it? Maybe you are talking about the rope seal? Unfortunately, mine does not have the rope-type seal.
