Definately relpace the push rod if you think it is leaking....because it only gets worse! Then your driveway becomes an oil slick and the neighborhood kids start skiing on it!
DO NOT USE THE Adjustable Rods!! They are Junk and leak even more than your current one does.
Replace your push rod with the Solid Push Rod Tubes.
Just an unsolicited piece of advice from someone who knows from expierence.
Also make sure the o-ring gooves are not damaged and the type of o-ring seal used gets a good seal. It is important that the case side boss and head boss are VERY clean so the o-rings seat tight and correct - use of a sealant has been debated. Best O-Rings for the application I believe are made of Viton.
