3.0 /6 in storage the case is filing with oil, and starting to leak on the floor. Options

So my '74 /6 conversion with the DWD sump tank is slowly leaking down into the engine sump. I have a leaking #6 rocker shaft that I'll have to R&R so I know my engine is full to at least to the exhaust rockers. I know it doesn't drain enough to do this if I drive at least weekly. I have a buddy who's well worn engine has hydrolocked a few times due to this.
I had to start and move the car, quite the smoke show.

Only automatic cure I've seen so far is a $300 valve from Rothsport. Or I could just install a ball valve and red tag my dash for just over $20.

I know it's a common 911 issue, do you other /6 owners have this issue and what do you do about it?

Is yours leaking by through the pressure or scavenge side?

If scavenge, how about something like this?:

Flapper valve.

Those rockers are a pain... just finished mine last night. Am trying those RSR seals this time.

Feed side, the pump I blueprinted and DFL coated the inner housings, but it's just a pump, nothing the way of a check valve.

The rockers I have RSR seals and they still leaked and came loose. Last year I had this issue with #1 and 2 rockers, a buddy sent me an article by CE where they said to install the shafts 100% dry and clean. So far the 1/2 rockers are dry, so a PITA job before next season is to R&R the rest of the rockers.
I think I'll add a ball valve for storage when I tackle the rockers.
