Today I power washed the bottom of the 850 engine to zero in on a little oil leak.
It seems to be weeping a little at the junction of the engine and tranny and dripping
a little from the middle of 3 fore and aft 10MM hex head bolts, just in back of where the oil dip stick goes but not the dipstick seal.
plus more weeping from what looks like the passenger side drive shaft at the gear box.

It was leaking more when I first got this car in July, and had to unplug the EGR valve and intake manifold port. That slowed down the leaks, but still it's dripping slowly.

Is there any additive to swell the oil seals to stop this kind of leak?

Or do I have to replace some seals.

Bill
