JB welding it to the cover might work better if disassembly is not an option.
I've done this in the past when I could not stop the leak other ways,works well,doesn't take but a "smear" of JB Weld around the tube,then push it down in the timing chain cover and leave it over night to cure......
I had a fair amount of oil come out of my GT350 when I switched to synthetic and synthetic blend. Went back to dino oil and problem went away other than grime around the sandcast parts which are porous?
Finally replaced timing cover crank seal, it was shot but did not leak that much. Point being Ive had more issues with oil over seal quality. ymmv

Reason: typo
I have had 4 small block Fords, two of them strokers and never had any oil drips at all. Now I have most likely jinxed myself. But my big block FE engines are another story. Every one of them has always had oil drips and I have never been able to completely stop them or even find where they are coming from.
