I had a case leak on the bottom after my first rebuild and I "patched" it with epoxy. With the engine upside down on the stand, I cleaned the area thoroughly. Otherwise I don't think it would have worked as well. I tore it apart and resealed everything within a month so I don't know how long lasting the fix is.
Are you sure oil isn't leaking from someplace else and collecting at the lowest point on the motor - the case seam?
