Default Cont O-300D oil leak problem

I don't know what to do about this . . . hoping the collective wisdom
here might have some ideas. For the last 3 months or so, after every
flight, there are small streaks of oil on the inside of the lower
cowling on my 67 'Hawk . . . if I don't wipe them up, they drip down on
the tire of my nose gear. My mechanics have replaced all 6 rocker box
covers and gaskets, and re-flared the push rod tubes. I have spent
almost $1000.00 so far and it's still leaking. It holds pressure just
fine . . . my mechanics are now suggesting replacing all the push rod
tubes, but I get the feeling they are just guessing.
Any ideas?
