my 2056 Type IV leaks a couple of 3-4" oil spots every time I drive it, which is a couple days a week lately. the drain plug has a new copper washer, and the taco plate has new rubber and paper gaskets with gasket sealant.
I think the leak is from the case halves. Mobil1 10W-30. Would a higher weight oil make a difference?

Man, I hate oil leaks!
