Could be worse, could be much worse.
Hey matt, have you ever tried using a higher Viscosity oil for the leak?
Take this for example.
I've been using 10-30 for a while now, as you can imagine, I much like yourself, have a pretty decent leak (bout' a quart every oil change).
well lately I've been using max life 10-40 and the changes are pretty significant, I no longer top off before oil changes and the oild looks pretty good and not burned like b-4.
Max life has additives that help condition old seals and will help, even if its a tiny bit, with oil leaks.
I always used to brush off the peeps at valvoline trying to get me to use max life, but I finally gave in and I'm happy I did.
I dont know if it'll help you but I liked what it did for ye ol' stormie troopie

I have been using Syntech 20w50 and it still leaks like it's got a hole in it. The problem is that the head gasket AND the rear main seal are both leaking. You can pretty much tell all of the parking spots I've been in. I noticed the place I always park at the Vietnamese coffee shop is starting to have a sizeable oil stain these days.
However, I found out yesterday that some of my real estate investments should be paying off on the 28th of this month! So, rebuilding the trans and plugging the oil leaks should happen soon after that.

Here's the pics with the new yellow fog bulbs. You can't really tell that they're yellow from the pics, but they are a real intense yellow and parts look green or purple from different angles. The pics don't really do it justice.

W124's
Hey Henry,
I saw those smoked LED tailights on a W124 last night while I was camping out at Best Buys and it looked pretty sick. I think I'm going to get them for sure now that I know what they look like!
