[QUOTE="UnleashedBeast, post: 14325156, member: 112023"] oldmodman is very correct. A true synthetic didn't actually cause the leak, it simply exposed the imperfections and damage to gaskets and seals that were already there. Darn that superior cleaning ability. High Mileage lubricants have additives that "swell seals" to decrease leaks. It's something you can try OP. Change to a synthetic lubricant, then monitor oil consumption and leaks over the next 1,000 miles of use. If no consumption or leaks are detected, your seals are in good shape. [/QUOTE]
