[s-cars] Rear main seal leak - try dino oil again?

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

If you snoop around some of the motorcycle oil products, you'll notice that some of the oils contain a "seal swell" additive.  These do in fact work, and if you're desperate for a cure without pulling the trans, it may be worth a shot.

Subject: [s-cars] Rear main seal leak - try dino oil again?


Last week I reported that my clutch was slipping.  Upon further inspection it 
appears to be the rear main seal that is leaking and causing clutch not to hold 
new RS2 power.
 
Currently running winter 5-40 synthetic.  Since its (supposed to be) springtime 
now I was going to switch back to mobil 1 15-50 synthetic.  But I noticed a case 
of old Penzoil 20-50 race oil left over from my old LT1 vette days (yes I should 
have kept that car).
 
Should I give the dino oil a go first in hopes of abateing the rear main leak?
 
I figure that I might as well try it as the case of penzoil will probably sit 
there another 10 yrs.
 
I noticed on 'two-guys garage' this morning (I have no life) that bars-leak has 
a rear main seal 'restorer' product that they used on an old T-bird.  But who 
knows what it would do inside a turbo?
