Re: what oil weight to use? 200 any

I don't think changing the viscosity is going to change the leak rate. The oil stays in the engine while parked unless you have a leak at the drain plug. The oil actually leaks out while you are driving, what you see on the driveway is just the remnants running off. Once yout engine is heated up an oil leak will be an oil leak regardless of the grade.

I went to school full time and worked and now my daugter does the same. Come on you have lots of time to track down the leak and let us know what you found.
