Bars-Rear main seal treatment 850

This is a progress report for trying the Bars product (32oz) to stop an annoying
rear main seal leak.
I switched the 95 850 to synthetic oil after getting this car last summer.
It was leaking enough to mess up the driveway, so I tried the Bars stuff.
They say to run for 200 miles and see what happens.
It was still leaking at 200 miles but not so fast.
Now at nearly 600 miles it's leaking noticibly less.
I'm crossing my fingers.

Bill
