I think this is a possibility that you could check out. If everything there is 
really clean, so that you can't see any track, just spray some WD-40 in that 
area and then blow some dirt on it. Let it sit, then drive it and look for leak 
paths thru your dust.

I'm skeptical about this because I think you would have seen it yourself 
earlier, but it could still be possible.

BTW, have you already replaced the O-ring that seals the governor cover? If 
not, you should, as THESE ALL leak by now unless they have been replaced.
