How many miles on your car? Using 1 quart oil in 2500 miles isn’t too bad if it is a high mileage car.

I concur. Try a flush then run synthetic and see what happens. With time, synthetic will clean and rejuvenate the seals to some degree. Perhaps enough to stop the leaks?? Certainly worth a shot - IMO.

Switching to synthetic Mobil 1 ATF in my 850’s PS system stopped a rack seal leak. FWIW - The rear camshaft seal is pretty easy on an 850. Not sure about your car. Is either the rear cam seal or front cam seal leaking? The front is more difficult but doable. Or is it definitely the crankshaft seals leaking?
