I had done an Auto RX clean and rinse on the car before, so there shouldn't have been much in there as far as dirt. Looking up through the drain hole everything was very clean.
I was planning on starting her car on my large stash of Quaker State Torque Power 5W-30, but I put in my last jug of Mobil 1 10W-30 High Mileage instead. I am using that same oil in my car right now, and it is slowing the oil consumption fairly significantly, it just took a while for it to do it.
Well then it seems you did have positive results, I'd say stick with the same oil for a while and the leak might just stop.
