A new pinion seal is in my future.
re: " where is the car supposed to be leaking from? Timing chain cover and
rear seal? Anywhere else?"
Gearbox and/or O/D drain plug, valve cover, tappet cover, pan gasket."
Neglected to mention concours originality requires at least three of the
above.
Just kidding (I think).
Amazingly, a properly sealed and assembled Austin-Healey rear axle/diff won't
leak (until the hub bearing seals go).

Gearbox and/or O/D drain plug, valve cover, tappet cover, pan gasket.
re: "Does replacing the stock felt in the timing chain cover help at all?"
Not for long. Best to replace with modern seal (requires a bit of
machining).
