Try to avoid overfilling --- I have an early 38 221 with a labryinthe seal --- little or no leakage with 4 quart refills instead of 5.

I saw a post somewhere to remark your dipstick 5/16" below the full mark. Partially to make up for the missing felt/leather seal that no one has any longer, part to keep the labyrinth seal from leaking.
That's about the easiest thing to do...take some oil out and see if it stops.
Thanks, Jack.
