Additionally, if you suspect leaking worn seals (especially the rear main seal) then use 'high mileage' motor oil that contains seal conditioners and/or use a seal conditioner additive. Switching from dyno oil to synthetic can also exacerbate seals leaking as the engine deposits that are soon dissolved were in fact contributing to the seal. I stay with a high quality dyno oil for just such reasons on my high mileage engines, changing it more frequently what with the cost savings.
