Its the not knowing that's killing me, dont want to give up on the motor if there's a chance it'll be ok but literally not got the 2k to fix and wont risk a 2nd hand head
When I did my seals last year I had the same thing as you did, oil rising and cutting out after idling for a few mins. Did the seals, all perfect for 12K miles.
I didn't give it a second thought!
The issues with mine came about, probably, from too smaller clearance on the injector rocker causing the injector to move and crack the head.
If you haven't seen the level rising since the seals were done I think you should be fine. I bet 100,s of TD5 have had seals leak and oil level rise and they have been fine after.
