Just installed Brad Penn oil- guess what happened?
My leaks went away.
Changed to 20w-50 Brad Pitt, er Sean Penn- I mean BRAD PENN! oil from Mobil 15-50 and my leaks have ceased. Which is a pity as I just bought new valve covers (yet to be installed).
After I changed the oil I drove over 200 hwy miles, then about 2-3 hours of hard track time. Each time checked, the pavement stains were conspicuous by their absence.
Is it the different viscosity or the make-up of the oil itself? Don't know and don't care.
Ok I want to know- anyone posit a theory?
p.s. as always YMMV.

Of course....it could simply mean that NO oil is getting to the valves any longer, thereby eliminating the need for any fix for the leaky valve cover gaskets. WAIT, this "fix" may rival the "remove the damn bulb" cure for the CEL problem!
