Mike, if you get in touch with me next week , I may be able to help you with both the front and rear. It does involve some engine work but it will stop the leak.
On another note. The rope rear seals that are used in the rear main, where the slinger is not totally removed but cut to a smaller diameter, are no longer available. Feld Pro has discontinued them and do not make them any more. This includes all V8 and 6 cylinder Ford rear seals from flatheads to 1979 289 engines and the 55-57 Chevy rear seals.
The only alternative is the Burtz seal or the cork/neoprene seal from us and other suppliers. This means, if the slinger is only partially removed, you will have to remove the crank and have it removed and install one of the above. Lots of work.
