Oil leak seems to be worsening; any suggestions? 700 1992

posted by  someone claiming to be Kevin on  Sat Oct 23 10:03 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I have a '92 740 Turbo wagon with 127,000 miles on it. It's running great, but I have noticed that, within the last week or so, there is more oil dripping from under the car when it is parked. I would estimate (by the amount that was on a piece of newspaper that I placed under the car last night) that it's leaking maybe a teaspoon to a Tablesppon overnight. Can I use one of those "stop-leak"-type oil additives without risking damage to the turbocharger? Any other suggestions? Thanks!
