Oil leak healed??
When I rebuilt an "80" 616 for my wifes 240D (30+K ago), I screwed up and did'nt quite get the crank seal to seat perfect and it leaked, maybe a qt in 800-1000 mls, enough so that there was always a "spot" under the car. I had noticed the leak had slowed down some in the past year or so. My wife just returned from a 1700+ mile trip and the car did'nt burn ANY oil (maybe down a fraction of an inch on the dip stick). I'm not a dealer any more (I bailed after purchasing a drum of oil) so I'm not trying to sell oil here but I'm wondering if the synthetic oil (Amsoil) wasn't responsible for my major decrease in oil leaking like they claim. As a side note she drove down eye 5 at speeds of 65-75 averaging 37.2 mpg :D I Dono, Do seal leaks heal themselves??
