Whenever I put in a fresh dose of high mileage oil, I have my dime size leak completely stop for 200-300 miles.
Then it comes back the same.
For a long time, I thought this was the oil breaking down, becoming thinner. However, I don't really think that is the case anymore because I have tried much thicker weights and the leak actually got worse.
Therefore, what changes in the oil after 200-300 miles to make it startup again?
I think I will be wild next time and try a thinner oil to experiment, see if that makes it worse or better.
