For the most part, the clutch is fine, i just have a bit of oil coming out between the block and trans. Until now, Ive always run synthetic oil. Would it be in my benefit to switch to conventional? I would assume conventional wouldnt leak as badly. I lose about a quart between oil changes. And theres no way im pulling the trans to fix it if ive got an SR sitting in my garage just waiting to go in.
So conventional or synthetic?
Is it worth trying one of those "Rear Main Seal Fix in a Bottle" things?
How long you think i've got before I need to borrow another daily, or swap it? aka How long until my clutch starts slipping to much to drive it?

drop a quart of lucas oil stabilizer...that should thicken the living shit out of the oil and slow the leak as well as protect that ka a lil better
