you didn`t say what year car.
on my 30 coach. i used a piece 3/16 inch thick leather from a pants belt and just drilled a hole for the speedo cable.
now i don`t get a puddle. just a drop or two over a week times.

Mike,
If you fill the cavity on the end of the cable where it screws into the transmission with felt. If you use 600W oil it will virtually stop all the drips.
