need temp fix for oil leak

alright when this motor went together it was assembled with a hi volume oil pump and the spring was shimmed.

oil presure is a lil high but i cant do jack about it before saturday. my only friggen leak is from the dizzy,ive tried a new oring,and even made my own gasket to seal the block to the dizzy. its still friggen dripping.

mine u oil presure is 45 psi hot at idle and 90 psi hot @ redline

65psi idle cold dont know what it is reved up cause i wont rev the motor up cold

and ideas on something to try its not a bad leak but eventually it will drip on the ground,

ive thought about rtv but i doubt that will seal,and prolly make the leak worse if i decide to make a base timming adjustment while at the track.

i just need something to get me threw the weekend so the pan can come off and a shim pulled out of the oil pump spring

ive also thought of droping the oring in some parts cleaner solovent to make it swell a lil but im not thinking that would work either
