Thanks Phil,
My block is CSX472 so earlier than yours and should have the improved drain in the rear main cap. Do you know if your main cap was the improved version from Shelby? I've also thought about applying some RTV between the pan & block plate, but that does feel like a temporary sticking plaster over the root cause. You are right though, I could spend a lot of time & effort removing the engine and trying to re-seal that area only to find it's no better. I have checked everywhere else and I'm pretty sure it's the rear seal. Life's a b*tch sometimes!
