Oil leak after changing to Brad Penn oil?, much more oil loss since changing from Royal Purple- Why? Options

[DRPHIL914]

I used to see a little bit , a few drops here and there, but now since changing to the Brad Penn have a mess on the garage floor

Not sure where from but seems it could be from the oil cooler seal? i cant really see for sure.

i dont see any major leaking from the push rod tube seals, but these should be replaced anyway, they look original

- car is 75 2.0, i have lots of documents from p.o's but nothing to show any problems here before-
I have had it for 2 years., only about 2,000 miles on it since then, but about 130,000 on the original engine, - good compression , car runs good now that the F.I has been competely redone.

just wondering if the oil change could have been part of the issue - i was using a straight weight conventional oil . maybe about 500miles of driving with the brad penn, - did notice it right away, and not coming from the filter.

before you condem the oil cooler seals you should check the oil pressure switch for a leak there.
I too doubt that the change in oil caused the leak. One other thought is that you may have higher oil pressure with the 20/50 vs that straight 30w and perhaps that is exacerbating an existing leak.
