Bought a truck about a month ago, and within the week changed the oil (havoline 10w30). I noticed that I have a small leak, looks like the rear main seal. Was it because maybe I am running a different oil than the previous owner? (possibly could have been leaking before,but didnt notice) Will valvoline maxlife syn blend stop the leak? It is dodge ram 1998 with 57k miles, still looking to get 5-7k miles a year with me owning it.
Will Maxlife Syn Blend Fix an Oil LeaK?

Auto-RX it
The only way Ive ever fixed a rear main leak was by replacing the rear main seal! Those things, when start leaking, are a real PITA to stop leaking.
Yes, it can stop the leak but as soon as you stop using it, it'll probably come back.

Don't stop using it. That's why it's called MaxLIFE, you use it for the remaining life of the engine.
