Default Weeping rear main seal

Being new to the Crossfire it's my understanding, from another post, it's a common problem that the rear main seal weeps. Some say occasionally just wipe the trans down every once in a while. "But" when driving at hi-way speeds the oil is blown back on the exhaust and I have a burnt oil smell when I stop. That's the problem that I want to remedy rather than spend a lot of money to replace the seal at this time. It's not even leaving oil on my driveway.
Thinking outside the box with an idea. Hope I can explain this to where someone understand my idea. In the area where the oil leaks from the bellhousing I plan to make a sheet metal holder where a lady's sanitary napkin could be slid in and out regularly by a string. It would be screwed onto the bellhousing Ok now everyone can laugh at me! LoL
