Mine is kind of in a similar situation. It's running fine, but I'm loosing oil, no blue smoke, no puddles on the floor. I took it to a trusted bike shop the other day and they said that it wouldn't be in my financial interest to repair whatever seal is causing the issue. They also quoted about £800 as a fair representation of what I'm likely looking at cost wise. They said the bike is running fine and a litre of oil per 1000 miles is acceptable on older bikes.
Money doesn't buy happiness, but it buys beer, and that helps!
