I have switched about 4 W123s to running Mobil 1. On each of them, the
oil leaks have _decreased_. Each of them had at least 130,000 miles
and no records of previous maintenance.
And Marshall has mentioned numerous times that Mobil 1 has additives
that will improve the function of engine seals. If your leak is from a
gasket, that may not help much.
So from where is _your_ engine leaking? Oil filter housing? Turbo
drain? If we know where the oils coming out, we might be able to give
you some ideas on how to stop the leaking.
