Given - newly acquired 1970 Fastback, below 20 degrees, probably 20-50W oil or possibly even straight 30W. I am getting some fresh oil seepage (about a teaspoon per 2 minutes) from under the oil cooler. I presume I have very high oil pressure from thick, cold oil getting past the o-rings on the oil cooler. 1) What should I consider reasonable for multiviscosity oil for a '70 Fastback? (Temperature range is 0 to 45 degrees.) I'm not driving to speak of. I am busy sorting out gremlins, leaks, heaters, cables, tuning, ..., and trying to make and keep heat. 2) Would tightening the two oil coolers bolts be reasonable? (or, is just changing the o-rings a normal activity?) 3) Also, where can I get "daily driver" grade door seals? I am hoping for something between $3 Home Depot weather stripping and the $125 German ones (per door).
