The pushrod tubes are a LOT of work to get out. Are you SURE this is your 
problem? They usually don't leak that much.

Is there any sign of leakage from above? Like around the oil cooler or coming 
down between the engine and tranny?

You probably don't want to pull the engine and then the heads just to replace 
the pushrod tubes and seals.
