Is there any way to PERMAMENTLY eliminate rear main oil leaks?

If you do not want your oil pan [ & many otherts ] to leak.........use silicon. The last time I used cork or similar was.....I think...1982...or was it 1983. Silicon has special properties that other gaskets do not have:
- up to 650* working temp
- never goes hard & dries out
- has some elasticity such that it moves with temp changes.

The challenge I had was trying to resolve a rear main seal leak. Kept needing to take the pan off so would have cost a lot more (plus time scraping the old gasket material and sealant off) each time I had to do it. Think I pulled the pan like 5 times. The reusable gasket really came in handy.
