Lately I have a lot of small leaks (maybe it's one larger leak but a lot of spots on the ground after driving) and no time to address this for the next weeks, so I thought maybe straight Delo 40 will reduce the leaks a little, especially with the temperatures in the mid 90-ties around here. Am I on to something or should I...?

You can use straight 40 if you'd like; it won't hurt anything.

I'll run straight 40 in my sd when I feel like hunting it down. Only a few places around here supply it. I notice a small difference. Not much though.

What's the difference you experience?

Once it reaches operating temperature, the straight 40 will leak as well.
You'd be better off using the time to fix the leaks rather than searching for the oil......
