I had this with mine many, many moons ago back in the eighties. Ideally a new seal, properly fitted, is the cure, but if none are available...
In my case I was only months from moving the car on, so I left it in the sun for a few days to dry out thoroughly and sealed it with Sikaflex EBT, which is a combined filler, sealer and bonding agent. If it's anything like mine was the leak was too much for a rubber compound such as Captain Tolley's to do the trick.
Whatever you do don't use silicone sealant - as they cure they excrete H2O and acetic acid, both of which become trapped against metal and cause merry hell.
My current 245 lives in a garage so I don't know if it is leaking there, no visible signs. Yet...
