Hi Klaus,

My car was leaking oil when I got it. I went with the RMS treatment after
switching to synthetic. It got worse before it got better, then it quit leaving
spots in the driveway. It did take more than the magic Lucas elixir predicted
and after 1200 miles it stopped. the car burns a small amount of oil now,
perhaps some worn valve guides? Maybe an overnight soak of Marvel Mystery
Oil in each cylinder would help rehab the rings?

It's part of the package deal of rehabbing a 21 year car with 200K on the odometer. Many cars are rusted out and crushed before they reach 100K so
rejoice! A little leaking oil is better than shelling out huge bucks for a
new "Luxury" car. Is that like a "Luxury Condo"? What makes it so luxurious,
The salesman know: maybe a Delrin cupholder? or an Ermine Toilet seat cover?

:-) Bill
