I learned of this on this board, forgot who wrote it. My rear seal finally began to leak, no matter how clean the pcv system was. I heard about putting a half a bottle of dot4 brake fluid (I used castrol) in the oil and sure enough that worked. It helps to make the rubber in the seals soft. I ran it about 300 miles and then changed the oil (been using Mobil 1) and no more leaks since the past 10k miles.
