Listers,
I think early British cars relied on old dirt and old
build-up around seals to help improve the seal?
My Healey never leaks with non-synthetics, but
the detergent in the synthetics clean my dirt and crudy
oil from my seals and it starts to leak again. I just
stick with non-detergent petroleum oil and everything is
good in the world. :-)
