I found the problem. I removed the pan to replace the rear seal and found
the oil pickup screen clogged with excess rtv that came from the oil pan or
somewhere. There was also tons of rtv behind the original rear main seal
whic deformed the seal and caused the leak. After cleaning the pickup
screen, replacing the main bearings and rear main I now have 50-55 psi cold
and 30 psi hot idle.
